1.Is it appropriate to change 16-inch wheels to 18-inch wheels?
16-inch wheels should not be directly converted to 18-inch wheels. The modified hub should not span too much, because in order to maintain the circumference of the tire as much as possible, it is necessary to choose tires with a lower flatness ratio, which will reduce the comfort of the vehicle. And because the wheels are large, tire noise, fuel consumption increases, and worse, wears out the vehicle.
The larger the hub, the easier it is to damage the bearings, the thinner the tires, the more obvious the feeling of the road surface, and the easier it is to reduce driving comfort. Moreover, after all, the wheel hub is a key component of the car, and replacing the large-size wheel carelessly will cause serious consequences, and even cause the car to be destroyed.
2.Is it appropriate to change 16-inch wheels to 17-inch wheels?
The wheel hub can be replaced by itself:1. Do not try to buy a fake cheaply. The modification of the wheel hub is an important step in the modification of the car. Whether it is the modification of the appearance or the improvement of handling performance, the wheel hub plays an important role in this. High-quality wheels ensure that their individual parameters are qualified by strict manufacturing processes and strict inspections.2. To choose the right hub correctly, the effect of the wheel hub on the appearance is obvious, but every detail should be taken into account when choosing the hub. All parameters of the hub affect the use of the hub and the vehicle. If the PCD value is incorrect, it may not be installed properly. The ET value will not only affect the installation and use, but also may affect the future upgrade.3. Make sure the hub is installed correctly. When reinstalling the hub, attention should be paid to the diameter of the center hole. If this size is smaller than the original, it is naturally impossible to install. However, if it is larger than the original factory, if no comparative measures are taken, it will cause the vehicle to be eccentric when driving, causing abnormal noise and shaking of the vehicle, which will directly affect the safety of the vehicle in serious cases.
