Can you put a 15 inch rims on car with 14 on?

It depends. You can't just slap on 15-inch rims without considering several factors:

* Wheel offset: The offset of the 15-inch rim must be compatible with your car's suspension and fenders. An incorrect offset can cause the wheel to rub against the suspension components or the bodywork.

* Wheel bolt pattern: The number of lug nuts and their spacing (bolt pattern) must be identical to your car's existing 14-inch wheels.

* Tire size: Even if the wheel fits, the tire size you choose for the 15-inch rim might be too large or too small for your car. This could cause rubbing, speedometer inaccuracy, and affect your handling and potentially damage your speedometer. You'll need to find a tire with a diameter close to your original 14-inch tire's diameter.

* Brake caliper clearance: The 15-inch wheel might not have enough clearance for your brake calipers.

In short, while it *might* be possible, it's not guaranteed. You need to research the specifications of your car (consult your owner's manual or a reliable online database) and the specifications of the 15-inch rims you're considering to ensure compatibility. A professional tire shop can help you determine if the change is feasible and safe.
