  1. Hello Asnan Taking it your current tyre size is 205/60/16, and you want to increase the wheel diameter to 17inch, you have to ensure that the ‘rolling diameter’ of the 17 inch wheel matches that of your current 16 inch. To achieve that, the profile of the 17 will have to be less than that of the 16 inch The maths:- Current rolling dia. of 16 inch = 2x (60% of 205mm) + 16 inches converted to mm. To convert 16 inches to mm, multiply by 25.4. To change to 17 inch wheels at a tyre width of 225mm:- first convert 17 inch to mm, and subtract that from the rolling dia of your current 16 inch. Divide that difference by 2, and work out what % of 225mm that represents - that will be your necessary profile figure as near as you can get it. I used to work these out for members, but I left school over 60 years ago, and found it wore my brain out! Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. Some clever so and so is now going to tell you there are websites which work it out for you, but worth giving your maths a work out instead.

  4. Hi, To add to the above post, you should make sure that the E.T. No on the back of the wheels that you are fitting, matches the one's you are taking off. p.s. E.T. elates to the offset. Brian.

  5. Hi you can swap to 17 inch as long as you make sure the tyre/ wheel profile matches the 16 inch set up in overall diameter. Steve.

  6. Well said Terry we have no leaders, well none you can believe in, I mean the new lot are too busy robbing older people of their pensions whilst organising the rest of the country's demise. Steve.
