Changing to 17" wheels
I have a 1988 coupe with 16" wheels and would like to change to the stock 1988 17" wheels. Will I have any problems? Are have to make any changes to the car like speedo? How about the rearend gearing will it change?
Thanks for the help. :)

Should be no problems.
Wont affect the speedo as long as the sidewall height isnt too big.

This link will let you calculate which tire size will end up being the same diameter with 17' rims as you have with 16' rims.
