Wheel change from 15in to 16 or 17in
 
My 90 has 225-60/15 tires/wheels. I'd like to go to a 16or 17 inch. they list as being either 7 or 8 inch. Which do I choose? much of a difference in 16 vs. 17 in? Does anyone know, are the Bullit wheels aluminum? Tire size recommendation for these? thanks!

Its called the +1 or +2 wheel size increase.

16" wheels are "simpler" in that they are typically 4-lug. You can do a 16x8 and run 245's, I did.

THe 17's require 5-lug (typically, I know about the fake R rims...). Then a wheel/tire package is more expensive...
