Wheel size cannot be changed. Here is some information about changing wheel size: 1. Regulations: Article 9: To apply for changing the body color, body, or frame of a motor vehicle, one must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form" and submit the required legal certificates and documents. The vehicle management office shall make a decision to approve or deny the modification within one day of acceptance. If approved, the vehicle owner must present the modified vehicle for inspection at the vehicle management office within ten days after the modification. 2. Motor Vehicles: The vehicle management office shall confirm the motor vehicle within one day of acceptance, retrieve the original driving license, and reissue a new driving license. For cases involving the replacement of the body or frame, the office must also verify the imprint of the vehicle identification number and retain the origin certificate of the body or frame.

Wheel size can indeed be modified. For example, installing larger wheels can make a car look more sporty, but it's not something to be done casually. I've modified mine a few times and found that changing wheel size affects overall handling. The factory wheels and tires are matched perfectly; if you increase wheel size, you must also change to corresponding tire dimensions. Otherwise, uneven tire wear may occur, increasing the risk of blowouts. Additionally, the speedometer may become inaccurate, potentially leading to unknowingly exceeding speed limits—a major safety hazard. Legally, arbitrary size modifications are prohibited. Exceeding permitted dimensions could result in traffic police fines or even vehicle impoundment, and insurance may refuse to cover accident damages. My personal advice: if you're determined to modify, first check your vehicle model's permitted size range, then have a professional shop assess whether the suspension and braking systems are compatible. This avoids creating more problems down the line. Safety comes first—don't prioritize aesthetics over actual risks.

I love playing with cars. Changing the wheel size can enhance driving pleasure, but attention to detail is crucial. Larger wheels lower the car's stance, improving stability and grip during high-speed cornering. Smaller, lighter wheels offer quicker acceleration, making them ideal for city driving. However, selecting the correct tire size is essential—wrong sizes can dull acceleration and risk rubbing against the wheel arches. I've also considered compatibility; for instance, insufficiently tuned suspension can degrade handling and increase braking distances. Long-term, larger wheels add weight and fuel consumption, while smaller ones save fuel but reduce comfort. Before modifying, I recommend simulating wheel speed and tire pressure matches to ensure no impact on daily driving. A car is an integrated system—small wheel changes can have significant effects.

I think changing wheel size is quite trendy. Larger wheels look stylish and give the car more personality, which I really like. But don't arbitrarily go for oversized wheels, otherwise the body proportions will be off and the wheels may rub against the inner fenders, requiring repairs. Choosing an appropriate size, like upgrading one or two sizes from the factory specifications, can enhance the style while maintaining reliability. Wider wheels paired with wider tires create a stronger visual impact, but the tire lifespan will be shorter, increasing replacement costs. When modifying, balance aesthetics and practicality—after all, wheels are the car's face, and going overboard can make it look bloated. A simple modification to express yourself is enough; don't chase size at the expense of daily usability.
