No, you cannot put 24-inch rims on any car. While it's technically possible to mount them on most vehicles, doing so without considering your specific car's specifications will almost certainly lead to serious mechanical issues, safety hazards, and a compromised driving experience. The decision hinges on several critical factors beyond simple bolt pattern matching.
The most immediate problem is physical clearance. A 24-inch wheel and tire assembly is significantly larger in diameter than what most cars are designed for. You must have enough space within the wheel well to avoid the tire rubbing against the fender, suspension components, or inner bodywork, especially when turning or going over bumps. Even if it fits while stationary, dynamic movement while driving can cause destructive contact.
Next, you must consider the overall diameter of the new wheel and tire combination. Significantly altering the factory-set overall diameter (the total height of the wheel and tire) disrupts your car's essential systems. Your speedometer and odometer will become inaccurate, showing a slower speed than you are actually traveling. More critically, it can interfere with anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control, which rely on accurate wheel speed data to function properly.
Finally, the ride quality and performance will suffer. Larger rims require lower-profile tires (tires with very short sidewalls) to maintain a similar overall diameter. This drastically reduces the tire's ability to absorb road imperfections, leading to a harsher, less comfortable ride. It can also increase the risk of wheel damage from potholes. Upsizing also adds unsprung weight (weight not supported by the suspension), which can negatively affect acceleration, braking, and handling. Before even considering this modification, consult with a reputable wheel specialist who can assess your vehicle's specific fitment requirements, including offset, backspacing, and load capacity.

I learned this the hard way with my old sedan. I slapped on some huge rims I got a deal on, and the ride was unbearable. Every crack in the pavement felt like a crater. Worse, they rubbed against the fender liner every time I hit a dip in the road, making an awful sound. I had to take them off after a month. It just wasn't worth the constant worry and discomfort. It's not just about looks; it's about how the car actually drives and feels every day.
