Can you put 14 inch rims on a car instead of the original 15 inch rims?
Why would you? To lower it? The smaller rim has tighter inside clearances so be careful it does not touch the brake caliper. I suggest getting a 14" rim (no tire) just to place it on the front to see if it fits (clearances). ALSO, smaller rims affect gas mileage & odometer readings, SO if you DO install 14" rims, go get your truck dyno-tuned to match actual MPH to the odometer. Note: Always consult with your local tire dealer specialist, advice is usually free of charge.

How do 20 inch rims effect a car?
It will affect the speedometer. For example, bigger rims will make you go faster than what the speedometer is actually reading. If it say's 50mph with regular rims, then with larger rims you will be going faster.
Do bigger rims effect odometer?
Depends. It's not the rim diameter that's important, but the overall diameter of the rim + tire combo. If the overall diameter changes, your odo and your speedo will be off. Bigger diameter, they will read low. Smaller diameter and the'll read high. But if you can go for a bigger rim, and a more low profile tire, then it's possible to ge the overall diameter to stay the same, and your gauges will still read true.
Why choose 16 inch rims over 17 inch rims?

Can you put 14 inch rims on a 1989 Nissan 240sx?
first im not sure what size is on them stock but in order to make the rims fit you have to account if the tire profile (sidewall) is goin to be bigger or smaller then you have to see if the correct bolt pattern is there (on the new rims) and if you will have the correct back spacing on the new rims. first im not sure what size is on them stock but in order to make the rims fit you have to account if the tire profile (sidewall) is goin to be bigger or smaller then you have to see if the correct bolt pattern is there (on the new rims) and if you will have the correct back spacing on the new rims.
