Modifying vehicle wheels to a larger size can affect the stability of the vehicle, so it is not necessary to upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels. Moreover, altering the wheel size of a vehicle is illegal. After modifying the wheels, it is mandatory to change to tires of the same type; otherwise, the vehicle will not be able to complete registration within the stipulated time. Points to note when changing wheels: You need to complete the registration procedures. Modifying the wheel size of a vehicle involves altering the vehicle's appearance data. Within ten days after the modification, you must bring the vehicle's license and registration certificate to the local vehicle management office to complete the registration procedures. Otherwise, it will be considered an illegal modification. If you switch to 18-inch wheels, it may cause the speedometer to display inaccurately because the vehicle's design and parameters have already been calibrated. Modifying the style and color of vehicle wheels is legal. Changing the style and color of the wheels will not affect the use of the original tires. You can safely modify and use them, and the vehicle can be driven on the road without any impact on the annual inspection.
