This is probably a pretty stupid question, but give me a break - I'm a girl. I have an 04 automatic with the 16 inch rims. Is it possible to change them to the 18 inch ones? Of course, I know I have to get new tires but would anything need to be changed with my car to do that?

Thanks!

Missy

 

Nothing needs to be changed...throw the 18s on there.

 

Nope. Just go to a bodyshop or any tire place and have them installed & aligned. A lot of members have done the same..

 

Thanks!

 

forget 18's woman, THROW SOME D's on that bitch!

 

I learned where D's came from, well really where Dubs came from.

D's-->Dubs-->Double Dimes-->20's

Double Dimes is the missing link, I never could figure out how they went from 20's to Dubs.

I feel so in touch with the street. I should go beat an old lady.

 

High five! lol..

I'll join ya with the beating..

 

as said before,

throw some D's on that bitch.

 

wow, i didnt even know D's meant 20's, i thought it was liek 24's....im a nub.

 

This thread delivers!


so do you have a myspace? maybe you can pm me the link. While youre at it, introduce yourself in the leg humpers thread!

 

LOL, you know if a guy posted this question the SEARCH ***** would be all over this thread!

 

girls dont know how to search? lawl

 

coming from 16" stock dont you have to get your PCM or ECU or whatever recalibrated to compensate for the different amount of RPMs said 18" wheel will be making to cover a mile (hence to properly calculate the MPH)

 

I actually did search but the above was what I couldn't find anything about.

 

As long as the total outside diameter of the wheel/tire combo is the same, no recalibration required.

Get bigger wheel, and a smaller sidewall tire and your fine.

 

^^^ Exactly. Here's some pics and more info

Haha...thanks for the warning! And yes, another Missy.

 

dont listen to MissyK, she is still hung over from st.patty's day. the Leg HUmper thread is you friend on this forum ; )

 

I agree.. ^

 

Rofl, I can't believe you took the time to look that up, but I'm glad you did, wow I finally know why they call them dubs. Your my hero sir.

 

You'll need the thingy for adjusting you speedometer since it wont be correct anymore. ( ECU/PCM flash wont do it) Don't think dealer can do it.

I forgot what it's called, but search a bit and you'll find a few threads on the subject.

 

Uh..?

 

No. As has been stated, keep the outside diameter the same and you'll be find.
