This is not directed to everyone, but a few for sure.
I notice a lot of guys think that different wheel sizes affect how much the tire/wheel combo will fill the wheel wells on cars. I'm referring to stock, factory sizes, not some crazy combo you might buy and install.
Whether you buy a car with 17's, 18's, 19's or 20's....they are all between 27.03'' and 27.66'' tall which is virtually the same overall height. Not trying to be rude, I just see that some do not know this and that's why I'm posting this in the general forum, not the wheel and tire forum. Simple fact is, you may have a 20'' tire, but it has much less sidewall compared to a 17'' tire.
I have some examples here on 2015 Mustang stock tire height comparison.
265/35/20 is 27.30'' tall
255/40/19 is 27.03'' tall
275/40/19 is 27.66'' tall
235/50/18 is 27.25'' tall
235/55/17 is 27.17'' tall
