Can I use the 17" wheel instead of 15" wheel?

Hi.

I have a 96' I30 which has 15" wheels. I would like to buy 17" wheels. Do I have to modify my car or not?

Thanks.

No mods needed bro. I had a 95 Max (in sig) with the 18x8 G35 wheels, and 2 prior sets of 18's. You're good to go bro.

The only thing you might want to mod is your brakes those little rotors won't cut it as well with bigger rims lots of extra force with larger rims ie. more stopping power needed... not totaly nessacary tho just use caution braking give yourself a little extra distance.

True with really big wheels, but the upgrade to Powerslot rotors, plus Hawk pads, plus Russell stainless steel braided brake lines equals awesome stopping power. Just my recommendation.
