The only way to match the factory wheels in every regard (width may or may not factor into things, but others like weight & their inertial properties do) is to get another set of factory wheels.


Yeah, I would think as long as you got the height of the tires as close as you could you should be alright. Mostly so it doesn't throw off your speedometer. No matter what tire you get, other than factory, it will hinder the PTM to an extent. Rim size and tire width should not matter, as long as it ain't rubbing anything.

Pretty sure no one has or will take the time to reprogram the PTM for different tire packages. Reprogramming should not be required in any case unless you want to recalibrate your speedo. My 2 pennies.
