Question Replacing stock rims?

I currently have the stock 13 rims on my 85 GS. I would like to upgrade to 14 or 15. What will I gain?
How will it effect the ride. I don't want the car to ride any stiffer.


Will I need to put low profile tires on 15?
I prefer not too.

The trick is to keep the over all tire hight the same, or very simalr.

A good tire shop should be able to help you out in this respect. If you keep the over all tire hight the same your speedo and ride and every thing else will stay the same.

Good Luck
