should be straight swap. you should notify your insurance. it has been said that your dealer should re-rest the dsc to account for different sized tyres.

As CG has stated the larger the wheel the smaller the tyre |

Never one to question your comments CG but if you line up a 17'' tyre/rim alongside an 18'' tyre/rim the 17'' is smaller in height by about 13mm, which will marginally affect the RR. |

put weight on the tyre/wheel roll it one revolution and measure the distance, rolling circ is not directly linked to unladen wheel height. every farmer knows this due to altering pressures in tractor tyres. At work

Wouldn't a 18" rim be 1" higher than a 17" rim????? 1" beeing 25,4mm...........That's when you line them up like you say. From center to top the difference will be 13mm, but the total height will always be 25,4 for 1" larger rims. Correct? |

I know George. It wasn't a comment to you, but a comment to mcphersonstrut claiming that a 18" rim is 13mm higher than a 17" rim.. |
