Subject:      wheel size recommendation
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

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 PDX, OR
