What is the widest wheel I can fit on my car?
To keep the suspension and speedometer functioning correctly, both the stock diameter and width of the wheels and tires needs to be maintained. As a general rule of thumb, it’s safe to fit a tire up to 20 millimeters wider than stock on the original rim.
Do wider wheels handle better?
Larger tires improve handling and cornering, due to wider tread faces and stiffer sidewalls. Wider tires may also increase acceleration, especially in very powerful vehicles such as muscle cars. Larger wheels with lower profile tires are sometimes aesthetically desirable.
Are wider wheels more comfortable?
The larger the rim diameter, the less air will fit in the tire. High-profile tires with plenty of space for air are more comfortable than wide, low-profile tires. Wider tires, for their part, will offer more grip on hard surfaces, Martin Dražík says.
Do larger wheels improve torque?
Changing the diameter of a vehicle’s tire can impact its overall performance including vehicle weight, acceleration, braking, and fuel economy. In a nutshell, the vehicles which stand to benefit from a larger diameter tire are those that produce more torque than they need to in order to maintain speed.

What happens when you put wider tires on your car?
When you put bigger tires on your car, SUV, crossover, or light truck, you raise the vehicle’s clearance — increasing body roll and load transfer, which may negatively impact your car’s balance and speed.
Does torque depend on wheel size?
The optimum torque value for your car or mounted rims can be found in the vehicle manual. It depends on the car model, rim size, design (aluminium or steel rims) and number of bolts. It is normally between 110 N⋅m and 120 N⋅m.
