I have an 84 Westie, currently running OEM tires/Rims 185R14 Load D.

I was offered a "Free" Set of 16" RIMS that are a direct bolt on, and
wondered if that would be a good move to take and if so which tires and size
should I go with?

This is what I was told.

If the stock 185/14's are (for example) 60 series, an alternate 16" or 17"
tire would need to have close to a 22.7"  diameter  (71.4"  circumference)
to keep the speedo accurate.

You can run scenarios on this tire calculator:

However, the pressure and sway problems is my concern.

Any words of advice is appreciated.

IF I go with the new wheels option, I will have a set of 4 BRAND NEW tires,
rims and OEM wheel covers for sale.

Thanks,

Jack
