Procedure for changing 16" to 17" on 04 Euro

[lkt]

Hi Guys

I have an 04 Euro Lux that came with 16" wheels. I bought a set of 2006 Honda OEM Euro 17" 9-spoke rims and have put them on my car (with new tyres of the standard size - 225/45 R17).

The guys at the tyre shop simply too off the older wheels, and whacked the new ones on. I got a full alignment done - nothing else.

QUESTION - Is there anything else that I need to do? Like any suspension adjustments or any other settings at all?

The car drives MUCH better now! :)

Thanks!

The tyre shop would have balanced the wheels so that is everything covered. Nothing else to do except maybe notify your insurance company.

balancing and wheel alignment should be ok..

Where did you pick up the 17s?

yup i think thats it - balancing & alignment.

perhaps you could check the tyre pressure and make sure the valves are all tight and no leaks.

Oh and apply some wet look stuff to make them shine :)

As long as they've balanced your rims and tyres that's it you're good to go.:thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for their advice and comments! much appreciated.
I bought the wheels from eBay. A private seller in Sydney... $585 for 4 brand new wheels (technically second hand but they were only on the car for a few Kms - so brand new for all practical purposes).
