I am about to get new wheels. How much more road noise will I get from 17" wheels rather than 16"?

 

14.78% more noise



It depends on the tires.

 

The noise will be unbearable. It'll be like having a rice can on all 4 tires.

 

I'll be a little more serious. I had the car stock with 17" wheels and have had two different brands of tires and the car is very quiet compared to most cars. I now have 19" wheels and tires and only on certain roads do I notice a louder, lower sound from the tires. Good luck.
