Jamie,

There is a lot of discussion on this... but the best summary is found here.

Make sure you have the proper off-set if the wheels are non-standard, also
that the tires can handle the load rating.

Subject: 15" WHEELS AND TIRES?

So here is a stupid one for somebody.

Cna I just buy new 15 inch wheels and tires and replace my 14 inch wheels
and tires on my 84 westy?  Or is there something else I need to change to
make this possible. Brake shoes? rotors?

Just wondering as I have come across some pretty nice wheels and would like
to jump on it.  =
