Can I use the 17" wheel instead of 15"?

Hi.
I have a 96' I30 which has 15" wheels. I would like to buy 17" wheels. Do I have to modify my car or not?

Thanks.

man this is seriosly the worst question i have ever seen. theres like 1,000,000 members running 17"+ wheels. you obviously took 0 initiative in finding the answer before you posted such a simple question. in fact, i would think you would have to go out of your way to repress memories to not know the answer to this question already.

worst question ever.

Yes, you must replace the flux capacitor.

Just kidding, no you do not have to modify anything, but as BlackonBlack said, an easy search would have shown you the answer.

i don't get it. are you asking if you can reuse your 15" tires on 17" wheels?

Yes you can use 17" wheels, as long as they have the right offset, with no other modifications required. This is a retarded question. Thread closed.
