Can I replace 17 inch rims with 16 inch rims?
If your vehicle came from the factory with a 17 inch wheel or larger you may not be able to run 16 inch wheels. The reason for this is because when the car manufacturers run larger wheels it’s typically to accommodate for larger than usual brakes. The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren’t as good in filtering out road shocks.Conversely, 17-inch wheels reduce cushioning due to their thinner sidewalls and are likely to be damaged on bumpy roads.
