basic wheels info

Post by gardenstateparkway »

i have 185/65 r14 on 92 1.6 sohc<P>i'm not quite sure how getting new wheels works. do you have to recalibrate the speedometer and odometer if i go up to 15s? if so, is it possible to avoid this by getting a lower profile tire? are 15" too big for the car? whats the advantage to having 15 over 14? i'm not looking to race, i just like the look of a slightly bigger wheel. this whole scene is new to me so keep it simple, basic wheels 101 stuff. thanks.

im running 16's with 40 series toyos. they are actually to small. the mx3 has a big a-- wheel well that looks really gay w/ aftermarket tires unless its lowered about 2 in. or it could be that i bought em with tires that are thinner than rubberbands i dunno.
