Technical queestions re: running larger tires in the rear
If anybody could chime in please do.
The stock wheel sizes that came with the car are:
Front: 205/55/R16
Rear: 225/50/R16
What are the ramifcations of running larger tires (as in larger profile) in the rear such as 225/60/R16?
Will it adversely affect the vehicle? What would happen?
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chix

depending on where the speedo is driven from- that could possibly register off a tad.
mechanically, i see nothing wrong. electronically, i don't really know. i'm still learning about the car's computer goodies.
