Bigger Wheels

I am interested in going from my stock 16" to 18" on my S430.
Do I have to do something special to fit bigger tires? Or can I just put them on as long as they dont rub? Thanks.

You will need to get tires that correspond in size to the rims.(18" tires, 18"rims, 16"tires, 16"rims)
Good luck
