The impacts of upgrading to larger rims on a car include: 1. The tires may rub against the wheel arches and inner liners, and the wheel wells can easily scrape the tires when driving on bumpy roads; 2. Fuel consumption may also increase; 3. When turning to the limit, the wheels may interfere with the steering linkage, suspension, and other components. Therefore, tires should be replaced according to the original vehicle's size and diameter. The rim is the cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel ring, steel ring, hub, or wheel disc. Rims can generally be divided into two types: painted and electroplated, with electroplated rims further categorized into silver electroplating, water electroplating, and pure electroplating, among others.
