    If I go from 16s to 17s or 18s what all has to be done for everything to continue to work? I'm not sure if anything is even necessary.. just wondered.

    Re: Quick question about wheels..

    you have to take off the lugs.... and put them back on....

    depending on the wheels, you may need to get hubcentric rings to keep them from wobbling.


    edit-
    if you're lowered and try to go with 17x8.5 or 18x8 with a fat tire (over 225 width, just estimating) then you'll need to roll the front fenders.

    Thanks guys I wasn't sure if anything had to be modified so the ABS and stuff like that would still work. Good to know.
