wheel size and faults

Post by mickdev »

Hi there, I am new to this site , just registered today .
I have a 1.8 Z3 which I purchased 17 months ago and I am absolutely delighted with it , I have added bits over this time and it is in immaculate condition , I was fortunate to wait and not rush in and buy the first one I saw as ive wanted one for years. I will post some pictures at the weekend when I get her out of the garage as I only use her for 6 months of the year.
Now then my first question , I hope someone can help. I am thinking of upgrading the wheels from 16 to 18 or maybe 17 inch, will this show any faults with the sensor system if I upgrade ?.
many thanks in advance .
Mick

No, because as the wheels get bigger the tyre profile reduces, so the rolling radius stays the same.
