It's only a problem if you make it a problem.
Once again and for the last time, what issue you have will be how the
overall outside dimensions differ from stock. 15", 14". 12" or 17" rims,
don't matter. Measure or find out what your current tire dimensions are
and
go from there.
How much wider you go will not affect the speedo, but could cause rubbing
on
turns and limit how far you can go lock to lock.
No one can say anything with regards to what problems or issues you might
have as you've given no relevant numbers. You're caught up in rim size.
Great if you're a rapper or gang-banger, but the rest of us look at the
overall picture and what we're trying to accomplish. Larger rim with
lower
profile tire is better performance, looks KEWL, and is a LESS comfortable
ride.
