Can I buy a 17 inch wheels and tires for a car that has 16 inch wheels on it?

I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue and I wanted to put 17's on it without having to mod anything. Is it possible.Can I buy a 17 inch wheels and tires for a car that has 16 inch wheels on it?
You sure can.

But your speedometer readings would be off then .
Yea just make sure the bolt pattern is the same. I believe you can go up to 18's before modding brakes, calipers etcCan I buy a 17 inch wheels and tires for a car that has 16 inch wheels on it?
yes. you can go even larger than that if you want to, provided the bolt patterns are the same
Going larger in diameter is generally not a problem for any car, but going smaller might cause a problem with brake caliper clearance. Here are three things to consider. One, the overall height and width of the new tires and wheels are very close to that of the stock tires and wheels. Two, the bolt pattern of the new wheels matches your car. Three, the offset of the new wheels matches the stock wheels. Offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to the tire mounting surface of the wheel.Can I buy a 17 inch wheels and tires for a car that has 16 inch wheels on it?
Yes you can do this with no other modifications. Its a pretty modest upgrade.



Make sure of course that the wheels are of the correct offset, bolt pattern and hub center or that they come with hub-centering rings. The correct tire size for this application would be a P225/55R17 95 with a speed rating of S or higher inflated to 32 psi instead of the 30 psi of the stock P225/60R16 97S tires. The increase in tire pressure compensates for the lower load carrying ability of the 17-inch tires.
You can even go with a 18"



Anything bigger and the rotors should be upgraded to bigger diameter for more stopping power - and to fill the void.
yes you could and even go to 20" go to eBay.com for cheap rims and tires or Tirerack for more information on your car rims and tire.
