Subject:wheel size recommendation
From:Ron LK Johnson

I need to replace the tires on my '91 - it has stock 14" alloy
wheels. There has been a lot of praise for going to larger wheels. To
be honest, I don't feel that there is a stability issue on my
vehicle, but I would like to have wider discretion in tire selection
so am considering an upgrade to the 15" or 16" wheels. (I installed
Bilstein shocks earlier in the summer and believe they improved the
ride a bit.)

Is there a large advantage (or disadvantage) in choosing the 16"
wheels over the 15" wheels? GoWesty offers packages for both with
only $100 difference between them.

Any advice appreciated!

Sincerely,
Ron Johnson
