Hi
Anyone has tried using 17" rim for their Sportage? Any idea how much it costs for the 17' rim and four tyres?
I also wonder whether it would burn less or more petrol if we use the 17" rim and tyres.
Thanks

Just make sure when you upsize the rims, your tire sidewall height must be reduced to compensate, for rims too big, you may have to switch to low profile tires. Otherwise, you cannot even make a u-turn.
