I am going to put 16" or 17" wheels on my car. I will be using Boge gas shocks. Is there an objectionable difference in ride quality changing from the stock 15" wheels? The car is mostly used on the interstate with decent pavement. Also thinking about lowering the car also. Any info with your experiences are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Like 16"better because I don't have to pay attention to the curb and etc....If your wife or girlfriend drives your car,most likely they are going to fxxx it up. I'm running 16" 225/55/16 with Pilot MXX3,Tires make all the different.17"looks good but lowering is a must.cost little more on tires for the long run.
