How big of tires and wheels can I put on my car?

Corolla S, it currently has stock wheels/tires 205/r 14 or something close to that...I was wondering if Its okay to put new 15" rims and tires on it just to make it look better, Im not concerned with gas mileage.How big of tires and wheels can I put on my car?

yes 15 's should work on it fine your only talking about a 1/2 clearance. so you can change the profile of the tires you use on the 15's to 60 ' or 55 and they should be close to the stock size in diameter . I am guessing your car has 205-70or75 -14 on it now . so dropping the Profile a size or 2 will take it right back to the stock size and not change your speedometer readings . just double check with your tire dealer they can get you pretty close on the size you need. this is so every thing reads the same . The gas mileage will not change .
some websites that sell tires will have a vehicle specific guide as to the max tire/wheel size you could use. Just remember that if you go bigger than the stock size that your speedometer will not be accurate.How big of tires and wheels can I put on my car?
One size up will be fine but as you go bigger you'll need to up grade your suspension as well as your braking system. Also make sure to have car re aligned as well as wheels balanced.
