Can the wheel size be changed?

Wheel size cannot be changed. Larger wheels with thinner tires do provide less bumpiness on smooth roads, lower fuel consumption, and better handling. However, on roads with mud pits, or lots of stones and steel plates, thinner tires are more prone to blowouts, and driving with larger wheels can be bumpier compared to smaller wheels. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected by pillars to the wheel core, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is cylindrical in shape and usually fitted with bearings to reduce friction. It is also known as the rim, steel ring, or tire ring. Common types of wheel hubs include steel rims and aluminum alloy rims.
