Will 16 inch boxter work fine on the 1.7 engine? In other words I know must of you who had a 5 lug conversion also upgraded or changed your motor. Is it wise to do a wheel upgrade with the stock 1,7. Is that too much pull? Please advise.

I just converted to 5 lug, and have my stock (2.0L) engine and run 16 inch Fuchs. I can't tell any difference in straight line performance. The ride seems to be a bit softer, but that's probably due to the different tires.
