Mine came with 15" alloys so that's what I'm sticking to. I have to admit, the car does rather look out of proportion with 15s on such a large vehicle but I don't have any problems.
Wouldn't there be problems associated with putting larger wheels on - I'm thinking how the powertrain is set up and, more importantly, how the speedo is calibrated?
With a 14" diameter, a wheel has a circumference of 43.98"
Uprate this to a 16" and the circ changes to 50.26"
So for each revolution of the wheel, the car travels an additional 6", that's bound to throw the speedo out?
And what about the steering geometry? Again, that's all set up for 14s.
(and for the HiFi buffs, back in the day I had a Linn turntable - Sonndeck with the accompanying tonearm wired into some big old Grundig valve amp and a pair of Castle speakers.
Eventually ditched Linn and went to Dual (the 505/2 deluxe), well I was short of cash ! before finally settling down with an Aries Scout turntable partnered with a JMW arm (I got lucky with a guy who was selling everything to move back to the states).
Glad to say that the Grundig amp is still powering out the tunes - although you have to book time on it about a week in advance to give it time to warm up
.
iPods etc are OK if you like sterile/clinical music but if you want to feel the music, you can't beat vinyl being played through a half-decent system.
