All 4 of my tyres need replacing. Especially now since two of them have been slashed!

Im thinking of getting some bigger wheels. I have the 175s on now.

If i want bigger tyres do i need to buy the rimms too?

Does anyone know a good supplier to get some from and what sizes should i go for?

Thanks

If you put bigger tyres on the speedo will be inaccurate and the gearing will be too tall..
take a look on the wiki and see what you can fit to bigger rims...
it's all about diameter :D

:D

Brickyard has some info on it too.

Gearing will go higher with bigger overall rotational distance, but what some people do is use a bigger rim them lower profile tyres to offset it.
