Why wheel size matters
Wheel diameter influences ride quality, tire sidewall height, and overall vehicle handling. It also affects tire availability and aftermarket options. When changing wheel sizes, ensure the overall diameter remains close to stock to preserve speedometer accuracy and drivetrain performance.
