After Market Rims and VSA

Hey guys,

If I change my rims from the stock 17" to either 18" or 19", will it mess up my VSA or the ABS????

Provided you keep the front and rear wheels and tires the same diameter you should not have any problems.Jens

Nice chart, Thanks.

After plugging the numbers in I kind of like the p240/40/18... Very close to stock tire overall size with a .45 smaller sidewall. This will only be off by a half mile in every 100 miles. Comments?

Your best bet and most likely the most accurate information on wheel sizing etc would be the Tirerack.They can be found at WWW.TIRERACK.COM.They feature an interactive fitment guide etc.Unfortuanately our service manuals only cover the stock car and offer little or no useful info regarding questions like this.The other source would be members of this forum who have gone to larger and wider wheels.Jens
