Calendar Event: Larger Wheels On 178? Posted: 04 Aug 2020 at 11:39am |
If you have a lift kit you can go to 15 inch wheels and tires. I did. As StephenH says be sure to get 5 lug wheels.

I do recall some people doing so. The hard part would be matching the bolt pattern which is 5 on 4.5"

I have a 2015 Model 178. While the 14-inch wheels are cute they seem dubiously adequate. Can larger wheels be utilized? I mean the fenders appear to be able to accommodate larger wheels. Wouldn't larger wheels and larger tires be safer, last longer, and provide better gas mileage? Has anyone else changed out to larger wheels? Thank y'all.
