Bigger alloys on a CVT

[nesty]

I currently run 13' steelies at standard suspension height.

If I put say 15' alloys on would the CVT gearbox get out of Sync?

Or is better to stay lower radius with a CVT.

I seen some nice black 4x100 VW Tarantula & BBS crosswire on Ebay though not sure of the centrebore.

Wouldn't go bigger than 14" I tried the 15" and it felt like driving a bleddy tractor....and I've driven a few of them.

the overall gearing & speedo accuracy is all dependant on just the tyres rolling diameter.
long as the chosen tyres rolling dia matches the previous tyre, the gearing & speedo should work the same.

bigger alloys will shorten the sidewall profile for sharper steering response and allow the tyre makers to use softer grippy high speed compounds but may create a harsher ride quality depending on suspension setup.

note that more popular tyre sizes like 195/50/15 will be more affordable than less commonly used sizes.

15's with 195/45/15 is what I consider to be best and keep speedo in sync, mate had them on his cvt march and it was fine, I bought the wheels off him, 15s with a 35mm drop is near perfect imo
