13" Wheel can change to 15" or not

[art_2004]

Now my wheel is 13" 175/70/R13.
I want to change my wheels to 14" or 15"
1. 15" 185/55/R15
2. 14" 185/60/R14

If I change it would be a problem or not.

yes

add your location. i have 15s on mine. had to get my fenders rolled.

Holy crap nice body kit! I've put 14s with 185/60R14s on every festie I've ever owned. Have to roll the fenders just a little but they only hit when you're loaded down good or hit a big bump. Never tried 15s personally, though several other members have. I think most of the ones I've seen used 195/50R15s, not sure on backspacing or anything though.

If you have heavier springs you should be able to run 15's without them rubbing. I run 195/45/15 or 195/50/15.

where do you get 195/45/15? i have 195/55/15 and i had to chop like 2 inchs off my fenders all the way around so they dont rub over bumps (it is lowered a little)

You can run 194/45/14 without any clearance issues even if your car is lowered.

I bought the 195/45's off from tire-easy. They are Kumho Ecstas I believe and they were on clearance a couple years ago, I don't think they make the ones I have any more, but since I put so few miles on the car (since it is never running) they have lasted me well.

After putting on the larger wheels did anyone notice a drop in performance, pickup, etc.?

[eurotiva]

Of course you will lose some performance, but looks and handling are worth it IMO.

I agree, and that's definitely a wild body kit, so I figure you're probably into looks!

[mattman]

where did you get that bodykit ....it looks sweeeeeeeet!!!!

[Gforcefd]

The wider the tire and lower you get you will be amazed at how fast you can take a corner, but then you need suspension to handle the tires, its a never ending process.
