Can I put bigger tires on my Hyundai Elantra?

An Elantra is meant to be economical and adding bigger rims can easily decrease the value the car provides in the long run. 16″ wheels are fine on that car and that’s what they should have. Even if you got bigger wheels as an option from Hyundai, you’d still be at risk of the issues above.

Do you need to change your Elantra low profile tires?

Repair person noted that both rims are bent but the bead holds air OK so replacement is optional. It’s a little tough to change to 15 or 16 inch rims after you’ve just bought & mounted 2 new 17 inch tires. Anyhow, before buying my next set of any new tires I hope to buy new rims in either 15 or 16 inch sizing.
