Wheel Size?

[Idleswede]

I have a 01 Caravan Se with stock 15" wheels.
Can I put 17" wheels, (original Chrysler) on without changing anything else?
Appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

you should be able to

check out some of these ideas

when you go with a larger wheel, you go with a smaller overall tire and keep the same overall diameter

here is one of several free on line tire calculators, so you can plug in the info and literally see what I mean

put in the size of your stock tires now

and then some in a larger wheel size and tire size and you can see what works

what wheels were you considering ?

[Idleswede]

Alloy 17"x6.5", 5 lug, 114.3 mm, 5 spoke.
The seller tells me these are original Chrysler wheels with part # ALY02156U20.
Any way you can verify that?
I'll try to attach a picture.
This site is a great help & I really appreciate it.

No, seller claims they are new & should fit 01-02.

hmmmmm


well just to be sure, if it were me - I'd go down to my local Dodge dealership parts department, and asked them to tell you about that wheel ...

Thanks, I think I'll just do that, (better safe then sorry) :D

Those wheels should fit as they were optional wheels on the '01-'02 Caravans. The exact versions had a chrome-like finish to it. Those silver-coated 17s were fitted to top-end 98-00 Caravans.

18s do fit on a Caravan...I have them on my '00 Caravan. 19s and 20s do fit but require a tire with practically little or no sidewall (35 and 30 aspect ratio) and will require the Eibach lowering kit to prevent it from looking like an SUV :)
