Is it necessary to change tires when replacing rims?

[LaMax]

Changing tires is not mandatory after replacing rims. Whether you need to change tires after replacing rims also depends on the size of the rims. The rim is the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire. It has a cylindrical shape and is usually fitted with bearings to reduce friction. Common types of rims include steel rims and aluminum alloy rims. Key rim size parameters include: 1. Rim diameter—upgrading to larger rims can enhance visual appeal and subjective driving experience, but larger rims require correspondingly larger tires; 2. Rim width—this determines the appropriate tire width, as wider tires can deliver superior performance.
