15 inch plastic bolt ons to 16 inch wheels

[beanga]

hey i just got a 01 white se v6 but it has those crappy 15 inch bolt on wheels, which got to go. I was looking at some chrometechs or maybe american racing wheels but if i get bigger wheels will I have to take it to a shop and have them recalibrate my speedometer.

you just get a lower profile tire. I cant help with exactly what size for a 16

[lucky13rme]

the tire size for the 16 in wheels would be 222/50R16

Don't get Chrometechs. You can get get much nicer and lighter wheels for the same money. I had to have one of my chrometechs replaced and it cost $300 CDN for a used one and would have cost $800 for a new one from the dealer. Which in my book, is pretty damn expensive for an aluminum wheel with a cheap chromed plastic insert!

Lucky - that's a really nice tire size calculator that visually shows you the difference in rim/sidewalls. It's nice because it shows you how "off" your speedo calibration will be with the new wheel/tire sizes.
