- Must watch video if you are upgrading to bigger rims. In this video find out on what things you should pay attention when changing rims. Also, find pros and cons of bigger rims on the car.
In this video, we did upgrade of wheels from 15inches to 17inches on Volkswagen VW Jetta 2013 model. This bolt pattern 5x112 fits most of the VW Models like golf, Passat, Scirocco, as well as a majority of Audi models like Audi A3, A4, A6, Q7 and other Audi models with bolt pattern 5x112.

One of the best and most educative videos I've watched on CZcams. Good job
Thank you very much for such a positive support.
I am now getting ready to get new wheels and replace my stock ones and this thought me so much. I agree so much with you
This was amazing man. I'd never thought about the speedometer showing a different speed.

Great video! One question, why would the larger wheel size increase the mpg and acceleration if the overall diamiter of the wheel is the same? Thanks!
Good question! It is because of the tire width - larger wheel size comes with wider tires which makes more friction causing slower acceleration and higher fuel consumption.
Good work man
Thank you! 😃
Than you , very informative! Peace and love brother
Thank you for watching brother.
Very good video!😄👍
Thank you for watching.
For a Nissan Sentra S 2017, is it okay to go for 17inch or 18inch? I’m going for aesthetics/look of the car (with comfortability). I’m driving on California roads (LA/Orange County). Thank you for your informative video 🙏🏽
If it is 1.6i Nismo 188hp then you can go for 215/45ZR18 7Jx18 ET45
Thanks a lot bro in this video. Now i stick to my 15” rim stock. Save money and no worry.
You are welcome. Yes, better stick to 15" if you want to save some money.
If you have very light power steering, harder steering can be a pro in how it feels. Great video.
Thanks 👍
Great video Thanks 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
jetta gang ;) I had 18x8s for a while. Now I went down to 17x9. Yes my stock wheels were 15
Yes, 18" is too much :) 17 is a good fit.
Really helpful 👍
Glad to hear that!
great work
Thank you! Cheers!
Very useful. Thumbs up
Thanks for liking
I would count into "less comfort", that bigger tire might also be noticeably noisier.
Yes that is also true but noise will also depend from the quality of tire. When you are buying any tire it will have a sticker stating its noise in decibels.
Thank you for the detailed info my brother. Peace
Thank you brother for watching.
Very nice video brother
Thank you brother.
Great video man, thanks. Was toying with an idea of putting bigger wheels but after watching your video decided against it. Not sacrificing comfort of my ride and fuel economy for looks aka ego. Nobody really cares anyway what car you drive, let alone wheels.
Great to hear! I completly agree with you.
Awesome brother you rock

Do larger wheel damage suspension..?
And can we calibrate speedo meter for correct reading after installing bigger tyres..!
Definitely, the suspension will feel the bigger rims so you will need to change parts sooner. Of course, this will depend on the roads you have in your country, if the roads are good, that will not be so obvious as if the roads are full of holes and then it affects the suspension even more. I would not suggest playing with calibration of speedometer, better to use the website that I recommended and see the proper dimensions of tires for bigger rims, then if you put the proper size, your speedometer will still show exact speed even if you are on bigger rims, as long as the tires are per factory recommendations (which the website at 1:57 will show you).
Thanks my brother. It's one of the best videos I have watched on tyre education.
Please I drive a toyota 4runner 2003 model. The factory rim size is 17 but I want to upgrade to R18. Because I love big Tyres. Which tyre size would you recommend for the R18 which will give me the bigger look tyre without having to do any trimmings on my car. Thanks
Thank you, brother. You can go for this tire size 265/60R18 and the rims should be 7.5Jx18 ET6
Thank you so much! Very useful video. Learnt a lot from this video.
Could you please tell me what size tires I should get for the 17inch wheels on my 2018 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI. Currently they're running the 16inch wheels.
Thank you for watching! Nice car man, are you satisfied? I like Skoda, always when I use rent a car I rent Skoda Octavia :) For 2018 Octavia 1.8 TSI this is your OEM tire size 225/45ZR17, rims 7Jx17 ET49, Bolt pattern 5x112, and center bore 57.1
Unboxing Sve thank you soo much! 🙏🏻😁 I'm getting the 2018 L&K variant. And I'll be driving on bumpy Indian road. So do you think it'll be wise to shift from 16" to 17"?
Oh then better stick to the 16" :D

good job. thanks
Thank you too!
Hello! I’m driving a Nissan Rogue 2014 SL. I’ve got a 20x9” rims with an offset of 38mm. I don’t know if I gonna need a spacer or washer. Please help me and I want to know if what size of spacers I’m going to put. Thanks
Hi, for your Nissan, rims and tires for 17" are 225/65R17 and 7Jx17 ET35, where ET35 means positive offset of 35mm. For the 18" you should put 225/60R18 where rims are 7Jx18 ET35. Going beyond these sizes are not stock to this vehicle so I cannot help you with that sorry.
Hi, Thank you so much.
I just wanted to ask that I've 2010 Corolla which has 5x100-16" (205-55-16) rims. I found the similar 5x100-17"(205-50-17-Subaru). Would it fit my car? It is ok to use it? Please. Thank you
Yes you can, but your stock tire size for 17 should be 215/45ZR17 so you can calculate how much speed difference your speedometer will lie. Also, when putting rims from another car then you should check how much J and ET they are, they should be 7Jx17 ET39 for your car. 7Jx17 part of that is the size of the wheel rim - in this case it has a width of 7 inches and a diameter of 17 inches. The ET39 shows that these wheels have a positive offset of 39mm.
Assalamualaikum ❤
thank you for the video brother

Very good
So nice
Sallam alaikum. Hello guys. I will get a chevrolet spark this week with stock wheels. Any recomendation on the maximum size i can change for a better look without compromising the stability and performance?
Thanks in advance

Hey a have a 2006 Suzuki forenza with 15" but wana put 17" but tire touches shocks...what do u recommend?
Hello, for you max size is 205/50R16
Good advice

hey ive got 16 inch alloys on a mercedes A class 205/55R16. Ive seen some AMG type 18 inch alloys i like is it possible to change to 18 inch alloys from 16 without causing issues to the vehicle ? and if so which ones ?
Which year is your A class?
Hi bro, i am planning to change my rim for 1998 honda civic lxi, rim size is 185/65/R14. What should be the best rim for it? Without sacrificing fuel mileage and without damaging the suspension? Thanks in advance.
Then don`t go for bigger rims. If you want even better fuel mileage you can put 175/70R13
Thanks you very helpful

I have a 1999 sentra gxe that usually have 175/70R13 tires. Whats the biggest you think I can go? I'm tryna get up to 16in
The biggest is 195/55R15
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey buddy. I recently changed the factory 16" on my jetta to 18". It was a horrible ride but I learned that the center bore wasn't matched with the rims. I took them back but I am still wanting to change them out. If the bores are corrected and I correct tire size to match the factory specs will I still experience a bumpy ride?
Most probably as the 18" has low profile tires. I would suggest you go for the 17" it gives nice look and still you will have some comfort left.
@@UnboxingSve thanks for your response.
@@UnboxingSve so you mean to say that 225/45/R17 is the most suitable/neutral for any type of sedan
2017 Chevrolet Cruze LS .. i have 195/65 R 15... , can upgrade to 225/45R 17? also what rim size and offset do you suggest that will fit best with the tire size?
Yes 225/45R17 with rim 7.5Jx17 ET44
Great video pal . A quick question if getting bigger RIM size as I have Audi A6 2006 with 15 wheels and I want to get 17 s. Will it be better for cornering and grip ?
Yes, definitely it will improve the grip and better stability in the corners. If your Audi is 2.0 tdi then you can go for this tire size 225/50R17 and the rims should be 7.5Jx17 ET45 with the PCD: 5x112 and Center Bore: 57.1 mm. If it is some other engine leave the comment and I will send for your engine the right dimensions.
@@UnboxingSve oh nice one pal! Thanks a lot !
hi
i have w221 s class wheel dimensions are
Rim Diameter: 18"
Rim Width: 8.5J
Offset: 43
Stud Pattern: 5 x 112
i was offered the following
what would you advise plz as the price is very high for the new ones
Centre bore: 66.5
front axle: 245/35R20 95Y Extra Load
rear axle: 275/30R20 97Y Extra Load
2 light alloy wheels multi-spoke 8 x 20 inch ET20
2 light alloy wheels multi-spoke 9 x 20 inch ET49
Give more info, which year it is and how many HP which engine?
I have a ‘20 hrv with 18” rims. I wanna switch to16” rims. Will you recommend 235/60/16 tires on it?
Hello, no, if you go for 16" it should be 215/60R16. For the 17" it is 215/55R17 and for 18" probably you now have 225/50R18
While u r going on the speed breaker the bumper hits the tyre? If we upgrade from 15 to 17inch
No, if you respect the factory tire size recommendations while upgrading. I have explained in the video for example 195/65/r15 is the size for tires on 15" rims on my car and if you upgrade to 16" then tire is 205/55/r16 so the overall diameter of the tire is same as with the previous one. Then on the 17" it will be 225/45/r17 that are standard sizes for my VW Jetta but it will be different from car to car so I have left website where you can check for your car.
Question to ask. When too many passengers, I won't hit the under of car?
No, if you stick to the factory recommended tire and rims sizes.
Amazing video!!!
I have a 2022 Nissan Versa basic model with 15" wheels. The highest version has 17". Would that affect my car if I make the change and do you recommend it?
Yes it will affect the performance and comfort. Also, 205/50R17 tires are much more expensive than 195/65R15
Just wanted to say I have a 2019 Nissan Altima s and it also came with 16” rims. I changed it to 20” rims and got the proper hub rings and it’s actually pretty smooth tbh no rub either
How about tyre pressure? Say on the 15s it is 36/33 front and rear, what will the new tyre pressure be on the 17s?
Check on the driver door or on the door for the petrol usually it will tell you there for the tire pressure.
How much bigger wheel will affect my fuel consumption??? About 1l of fuel or less??
Im trying to put 18 or 19 inch wheels instead of 17 on a Camry 2018, do you think that’s a good idea! Because the higher trims comes in 18 and 19
It depends from the Spec, but I would not go higher than 18. For 18 your size is 235/45R18 and rims 8Jx18 ET50
Hi Sve, Great video
I wonder if you could tell me, how much comfort did you lose, on the Jetta
A little or a lot
Thanks
Hi Robert, I live in the UAE so not that much as roads are great. Now I have Audi A4 I am rolling on 19" without any issues :)
@@UnboxingSve Thank you
I have 2020 honda civic sport 235/40/18 I want to replace to 16 inch rims what size of tire do you recommend
Hello, for 16" this is original size 215/55R16 and for 17" this 215/50R17
Hi, thanks for the video very educative. I have a questions. I have a 2014 Toyota Avalon hybrid with stock 215/55/R17 tires and wheels are 17x7 ET40 bolt pattern 5x114.3 . I fall in love with a 20" Wheels with bolt pattern 5x120 20x8.5 ET60 and tires 245/30ZR20. I had to install 1'' adapters. the installation was done by an professional mechanic and it was straight forward. everything fitted perfectly including the center bore. the pros and the cons are exactly what you are described in this video, but the acceleration decreased way more than I was expecting. the cars feel is very heavy and I have to push the pedal way more in order to speed up. the tires are high performance summer tires. do you think if I put all season tires the acceleration will improve? or is not depend on the tires? the cars feel stable and strong I dont feel nothing wron with the ride even a high speed (100mph) do you recommend me to keep them or got to 19 ?
Hello, I don`t think type of the tires will change anything. You have issue because your tires on 20inch rims are 3 cm wider then your old tires, that means more grip and better stability, but it needs more power to run such a wide tires which will also lead to higher fuel consumption and as you already experienced, decreased acceleration. Factory recommendations for your car are max 18" rims with tires 225/45R18 and that will not be too much difference from 17 in terms of acceleration so my advise is actually go for max 18" rims.
@@UnboxingSve Thank your for your reply, I apreciate.
I have a Toyota Yaris 2012 sedan. I don’t know much about this, but I need more stability at high speed. Which rim and tire size do you recommend?
Which engine and what size you currently have? I would not go more than 15" if you don`t have good roads in your country. For 15" this is your factory size - Tire 175/65R15, Rim 5Jx15 ET39, Bolt pattern 4x100, CB 54.1
@@UnboxingSve You do get more high end power with larger wheels vs more acceleration with smaller wheels no? Also you it would of have been nice if you mention the pros and cons of have a smaller wheel diameter also.
Question, i changued from the same exact rims that you had to an audi a3 17 inch wheels, the problem now its that, traction control and tire pressure lights turned on on my dash board do you know how can i turn this off?
There should be a reset button for tire pressure. For traction control I am not sure, but both these you can reset via computer diagnostic tool
I have a Lancer GLX which came 185/65/R14 originally, but the previous owner has changed it to 225/45/R17. It has a good grip when cornering. But is it okay for power steering etc.?
Which year is Lancer? Long term it will affect but short term no :)
Unboxing Sve Thanks🙂, it’s 2007
Your standard tires for 17" rims are 205/45R17 or if you want wider you can put max 215/50R17
Unboxing Sve thanks for the reply 🙂
Great video... I have a Toyota Hiace with Bridgestone RD-613 STEEL tyres 195/R15C that came with it from factory. I’d like to go up to 18” wheels but after seeing this maybe 17’s would be more ideal... What would you recommend, and what tyre size? Thanks in advance
Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes, better go with 17". You should tell me exactly which model (year) is your Toyota Hiace so I can give you factory recommendation.
Hey man, thanks for the reply. It’s a 2018 Toyota Hiace 3L Turbo Diesel
They recommend only LT195R15. So I am not sure will you even be able to fit 17" and not sure which tire size you should look for. For the OEM wheels they recommend only the size you now have. Also, your bolt pattern is 6x139.7 which is tricky to find rims so maybe you will need to customize if you want to upgrade.
Ok thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. Where I’m from the bolt pattern is pretty common. And people around here get 18” or even 20” wheels on the same model van I have... crazy huh?!
Anyway thanks again for your reply. Peace!
My car is Toyota Avanza 2010 model with 185/65 R15. Is it recommendable to go for 16”? Hope you can reply ASAP

Good education there. can you advice me on toyota axio 2012 all drive..want to increase from 15 to 16
Thanks sir. Corolla Axio? The biggest size factory recommend for that car is 15" which should be tires 195/65R15. So you already have big wheels, smaller once are 175/70R14 for 1.3 engine and 185/70R14 for 1.5 engine

Hello I am going to purchse maruthi suzuki XL6 2019.... IT IS HAVING 15 inch tyre... Does having 16/17 size wheel effect comfort and suspension
Hello, it all depends from the quality of roads in your country. 15 to 16" you should not feel too much difference, but on 17" definitely the comfort will reduce if you have bad bumpy roads
@@UnboxingSve thank u so much for Ur reply
One very important thing is missing and that is ET(wheel offset, more will explain google). By changing one wheels(rims) with bigger ones, your total diameter of wheels(rim+tire) should stay close to original as possible, if you don't want rubbing on car chassis from vertical tire movement. Also speedometer will be off, abs may act differently and problem with passing a tire homologation. But achieve that, you will need specific size for your car, which probably mean wider tires. With wider tires, you will probably need wider wheels(rims). And that is point where ET come along if you want, your new wheel(rim+tire)(when car is fully loaded or unloaded stock car without chasiss modification) will not rubbing on suspension, inner part of car body, or when car is fully loaded and your wheeels are turned max left or rigt. Et number is specific for every vehicle brand and model. And with changing Rim size parameters , ET number will differ. For example ET number for Golf 7 with 195/65/R15 tires and 6jx15 wheels is 43. For 7,5jx17 sized wheels and 225/45/R17 tires, ET number change to 49.
Yes, for ET they can check the website link which I left in the description and mentioned it in the video.
hi i have a 2015 nissan altima 2.5 s and i change my rims and tires to 235/45r18 what do you think would be the issue? thanks
There should be no issues, you got it right with the dimension 235/45R18. The only thing you can experience is less comfort and more fuel consumption.
I have passat b8 2.0tdi 2015 150hp currently factory 16rims 215/60/16 I want to upgrade to 18 what is your recommendation?
For 18" 235/45ZR18 tires and rims 8Jx18 ET44. But for everyday use I would recommend you go for 17" in that case you should search for 215/55ZR17 tires and rims 7Jx17 ET40

I should've watched this earlier. I just bought today a set of rims with tires 225/45/17 for my bmw E90. They were previously mounted on a bmw series 1. Is there any way for me to check exactly the diameter of the central bore on the new rims and bolt distance between the wholes (like is it marked anywhere on the rim?), Or do I just have to try to put it on to know for sure?
My car currently has 205/55/r16 which came when I bought the car recently.
Thanks for the informative video.
Yes there is a website I shared somewhere during the video it is called wheel-size and just put details of your car, and that other series 1 and you will see will it fit.
