Hi folks ,

Might be a stupid question question, but will tyres on a 16" alloy fit a 17" alloy ?

    the 16" tyres will have thicker side walls so it will look very weird and handle very differently, i wouldn't do unless it was an emergency

    tyres from a 16" wheel will not fit a 17" wheel as that is obviously bigger.

    Maybe the "stretched" trend is causing confusion. You can only stretch a tyre in width not diameter. I think the stretched idea looks pants myself!B)

    Thanks for the reaponses.

    Only reason I ask is I currently have 16" alloys on the car, two tyres of which are fairly new.

    Looking at getting some 17" alloys and would be a shame to discard the tyres.

    sure someone will buy them

    Why would you have to discard them, are the alloys wrecked? Someone will always buy used alloys with tyres or even separately.
