Hi,
Usually, there is the wheel and tyre information label stuck at the chassis when you opened the door. You can change larger diameter but thicker height. For example, you can use 205/50/R17, if you use 225, you should use 225/45/R17. Check that. In some model, if you use wider wheel, there are some racing spacer added to off-set the wheel. But you should check with the local government rule if it is illegal??
