there is nothing wrog with buying new rims...if you do the research...the most problems people have is they buy really heavy rims and don't upgrade there breakes. so if you buy rims that are made of the same material...you should be fine with the 2" increase.


by the way what kind are you looking at getting???

If you go up on a rim size, the only reason you'll damage anything is if you don't upgrade the rest. You need to realign your the front and rear, new heavier brakes, etc. Talk to a good mechanic and they can explain the rest to ya. Good luck.

If your going with larger rims and less rubber YES it will be harder on the suspension but you just need to take some care. I have had aftermarket rims on my car since the year I bought it (2002). I never upgraded the suspension and its not needed. I went from 16" to 17" and ya it makes the ride a little rougher but I've yet to have any damage done as a result.
