Can car tires be replaced with larger ones?

[WilliamLee]

Car wheels cannot be replaced with larger ones. The size and specifications of the new and old wheels must be consistent; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. For example, if the original wheel specification is 16 inches with a J value of 5.5, the new wheel must also be of the same specification. Inconsistent wheel sizes between the old and new wheels are considered illegal modifications. 2. After modification, you must register the changes with the vehicle management office within 10 days. Failure to do so may result in penalties from traffic police when driving on the road. 3. There is little point in increasing the wheel size. Without changing the wheel diameter, choosing a larger wheel size inevitably requires thinner tires, which are prone to bulging and will incur higher maintenance costs later. Additionally, while thinner tires may improve the vehicle's handling, they can also negatively impact ride comfort. Therefore, for family cars, there is no need to increase the wheel size.
