Can 16-inch Rims Be Replaced with 18-inch Rims?

[DelAnnie]

16-inch rims cannot be replaced with 18-inch rims. There are clear regulations that prohibit changing to rims of a size different from the original vehicle specifications. Replacing 16-inch rims with 18-inch rims without approval from the public security traffic management authorities will result in the vehicle management office refusing to record the modification, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. Rims are the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire. They are cylindrical in shape and usually equipped with bearings to reduce friction. The maintenance methods for rims include: 1. Clean the rims frequently to prevent salt corrosion on the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, apply wax after cleaning to maintain their shine; 3. When the rims are hot, allow them to cool naturally before cleaning.
