if i decide to put 18s on a chevy malibu (stock 15 rims) am i going to have to change brake rotors and everything else? they‘ll typically only be on at most 4 months (don‘t post its a dumb idea) out of the year so if i do how much is it going to cost me?
Your braking distance will dramatically increase due to increased rotational inertia. Another poster sited a BMW - but a BMW has much better brakes than a '98 Malibu.
definite it truly is amazingly a chance. All you want are some coil spring spacers to augment it some inches and perchance do a touch trimming to the interior fenders in accordance with what tire length you opt for. i comprehend this can artwork!! My pal has 22 rims on his malibu and that i have 24 rims on my caprice and neither of has have lifts in any respect put in only spacers.
It's not really a problem, other than that your brakes will look smaller in proportion to the wheels. 18 wheels add a little weight, but not enough to demand a brake upgrade.
