2007 VUE 3.5L
Default Upgrading wheels and tires 16" - 17"

Just received my new rims and realized they're 17's and my stock rims are 16's. Any issues buying 17" tires, mounting them on the new rims and installing them? Clearance, etc.

As long as the tires are the same outside diameter, it should be fine.

Redlines are 18" stock. It's all about tires specs, not wheel size dude.

My 2007 Vue has 2 16s (front) and 2 17s (rear) right now. (Bought the 2007 with 16s but took the 17s off my 2002 when it was junked. Replaced 16s with 17s as their tread wore down). Both sets are Saturn brand rims.

Box usually says mount wheels on car before putting tires on rims. You are sure bolt pattern and offset is ok?
