Wheel size question.
Am considering going from stock 17/18 inch wheels to 18/19 or 19 all around. What are the positive effects in doing this. Are wheel sensor and/or speedo calibration an issue? As always, thanks in advance.

If you increase the rim sizes the overall diameter (including tire) should remain close to stock dimension by choosing the correct tire size, i.e. the rim gets larger and the tire gets smaller (less sidewall).
As for the sensors, check with the wheel manufacture, some fit, some don't.
Also, if you have made any brake mod's such as oversized rotors BE SURE you tell your salesperson.
Good Luck!
