Hello guys,

I have a newbie question about the tire size.

If I get a 17" rim can I compensate this diameter with the size of the tire, like getting a lower profile tires in order not to change the rev/milage ratio. If I cannot do it what changes dol I have to make to the vehicle to put the 17" rims and keep the correct ratio ?

Thanks in advance.
