Not unless your tyre size is incorrect

Thumbs up

Also known as Rolling Radius. If you increase your wheels by an inch, then you have to decrease the tyre profile by 10mm I think.

e.g. 205/50R15 (15") would become 215/40R16 (16") or something like that. Therefore the size of the rubber remains the same overall but the amount of alloy in the middle is bigger.
