Car wheels?

Question:
what difference in distance would there be in using 14 inch wheels and 15 inch wheels on a car.

Answers:

rear bumper?

The answers given are vaguely correct. But the truth is, it really depends on the tires mounted on the rims. The diameter of the 15 in could actually be smaller than the 14. You could calculate the difference in the circumference of the two tires and it would tell you the percentage of gain or loss in distance traveled. If you have more information email me and I will help.

Larger rims mean more weight and larger tires which will change your steering geometry and affect the gear ratio which in turn will affect the speedometer

at what temp should I warm my car?

If the 14 and 15-inch wheels have the same offset you should have no problems in terms of fitment. It's just a matter of chosing the right tires so you don't mess up your odometer and speedometer too much.

question about tuneups?

For example; If you have a P185/65R14 tire and you want to go to 15-inch the best size to use would be P195/60R15 although the more rare and expensive P195/55R15 will also work.

If you have a P185/70R14 then you would want to use a P195/65R15 or perhaps a P205/60R15 tire.

If you choose the correct tyre (lower profile), there will be no difference.

Dodge Truck problem?

If you choose the wrong tyre, so that the effective rolling radius of the tyre is increased you will have to have your speedometer recalibrated to suit, you will have changed the overall gearing of the car, so performance, consumption and emissions will be affected, and you may have problems with the tyre fouling in the wheelarch, leading to possible tyre and body damage (or you could, at some expense, have the steering and suspension travel limited to prevent the tyres fouling, but at the expense of ride comfort, manoeuvrability and possibly durability).
