Question about wheelsize, and how affects steering etc

Hey everyone who reads this, i have a RX7 series 2 and im doin mods to it and since ive never done anything to an RX before i have a slight problem. My car has 13 inch wheels with 185 tires, no i wanna make it look sick so i wanna take the wheel size up to 16 inches and manke the tires either 195 or 205. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how making the tire size larger will effect the steering of the car. because if it affects it dramatically ill have to think if i should really do it or not.
Thx for this, i really need help with this

what year is your car? If you have 13" weels, you most likely have a 1st gen rx7 and if so you should try posting in that forum.. or in the "suspensions/wheels/tires/brakes" section.

I'm not very experienced with different wheels/tires on FC's.. Been through a few different sets, but im no expert.. But what i can do is refer you to REted's website.. www.fc3spro.com

Goto modifications, and then you will be able to view tires/wheels/suspension mods, and he goes into far details of reccomended combos.

Good luck

Justin

Here Is a good long read that should have you become FC Wheel/offset savvy at the end of reading this.
