Can the original 17-inch wheels be replaced with 18-inch ones?

The original 17-inch wheels can be replaced with 18-inch ones, but the following points must be noted during modification: 1. Proper matching: When upgrading to larger wheels, ensure proper matching. Improper matching can visually raise the vehicle height, making it look awkward and potentially affecting daily driving performance. 2. Wheel weight: Regardless of material, larger wheels are inevitably heavier. Their increased weight and longer circumference require more power to rotate, but a vehicle's power configuration is set at the factory. 3. Increased braking semi-load: After installing larger wheels, the vehicle's acceleration will slow down and take longer. Heavier wheels also increase the braking semi-load, lengthening the braking distance—a crucial factor, especially during high-speed driving when emergency braking requires precise distance control. This consideration is vital for personal safety.
