HI to all......just 1 question.I got a 94 civic sedan...cmes out with 13inc rims,,,i put on 15 inch recently and my right wheel bearing just popped...Can a rim's size play a part in damaging the bearing....?

i really dont see how bigger rims can mess up your bearing that bad
well my 17's are lighter then my stock tires and hubsOriginally posted by "position..eh"

i think the weight of the car has more to do with the bearings going bad, than the weight of your wheels does.
if you listen good enough, you can hear it... kind of a whirring sound!!Originally posted by "OZ99"
