from stock to simmons rims

[vuonguz]

my stock rvr are running 215/60/16 and i just bought a set of simmons having 225/45/17 will anything happen to my suspension at all???

26.17mm under standard size..you can be up to 15mm over or under.
Cheers !

In other words your speedo will be out. Step up to a 225/55/17 and it should correct your rolling diameter and if it came off an evo you shouldn't have any issues.

damn, i was looking at adding another 215mm to the rolling diameter :unsure:

 

[something_wild]

isn't stock 15"? And what sort of simmons did you buy, fr's?

 

[Astron Boy]

isn't stock 15"?

Yes.
Perhaps he means current?

And yes, what Simmons you get?

Simmons on an RVR - pics or ban!!!! To answer your original question - no you will not have any suspension issues, but your car will handle much better with less sidewall diameter.
