If you are changing rims or tyres from the normal on your car, then consider looking at this, and checking to see how it may change it for the worst.

Re: RIM & TYRE CHANGING. Must read if considering.
I'm glad that there are still Daewoo owners who are enjoying their rides. I've owned my 1999 Lanos SX
since new , and I've made a few simple performance changes. I've found that if you favor performance
over the custom look , don't go over 1" dia. over stock. I went from 185/60 R14 to a 15 X 6.5 wheel with
a 195/50 X 15 performance directional all season radial . (Hankook K106 ). It performs in snow, rain and
the wildest roads . KYB strut inserts in the friont and KYB gas shocks in the back ,add to the fun. Anyone
who decides to upgrade his ride must make his own choice, these are just some suggestions from a fellow
Daewoo Lanos owner. ( I had Nitto NT450 extreme perormance tires on the car once ; I didn't like them )

i am using a simple software to calculate changes... it also have an offset calculator as well
i am currently on 15" rims with 195/50/15 Kumho Ecsta MX tires and i am quite happy with them

Yeah, Off-set is a major thing to consider also. Wheel bearings usually take the knock if not done correctly.
Ford made a car for UK, and it was a nightmare. You could almost check the clock to the bearing failure times.
