Positive effects: * Looks good! Negative effects: * Rims exposed to curb damage * Tires distorted due to being fitted on a rim that is too wide, thus, requiring much higher inflation pressures to prevent excessive wear on the edges of the tread surface * Rough choppy ride due to higher inflation requirements * Possibility of tire coming off the bead if impacted * Higher rate of wear and tear on suspension components and wheel bearings * Poor directional stability due to wrong offset being used * Increased understeer in FWD vehicles due to wider rear wheels * Decreased turning radius * Tires need to be changed more often * Extra cost of a wider wheel * Body damage
