Alloy Wheels And Tyre Change Advise

[Nimz77]

im looking to get new alloys (Bigger size) for my car.....

mazda 323 hatchback (Yom: 1992)

Current Size is following

Alloy: 13inch
Tyre: 175.70R 13

Mazda recommended alloy and tyre size is (Door Printed Striker )

175.70r13 82S
175.65r14 82h
185.60r14 82h

Can i use 16 or 17 inch alloy wheels?this will damage to car?

Reason for bigger wheel is ground clearance is very low.

Thanks for helping me...

16's work fine, 17's look cartoonish for these cars.

A 16x7 +35 will fit with 205/45's perfectly without rubbing anything, unless you are quite lowered.
