2021 Hyundai Palisade — going one inch smaller for winter wheels — buyer question from Dallas

TruckDIYer599Community StarterSep 4, 20262021 Hyundai Palisade LimitedDallas
2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited, about 27,000 miles. I want smaller winter wheels for more sidewall. Overall tire diameter can stay close, but I am worried about caliper and spoke clearance. What measurements should be checked before ordering? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

Salt and cold mornings punish cheap shortcuts. Watch brake clearance and overall diameter if you downsize winter wheels on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade. I'd do that before spending real money. When does it actually happen? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Yes, with one caveat: Watch brake clearance and overall diameter if you downsize winter wheels on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade. Then you'll know the next fork. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I'd rather be boring and correct. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Salt and cold mornings punish cheap shortcuts. In Dallas, dedicated winters on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade paid off more than I expected on ice, even on plowed roads. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2021 Hyundai Palisade in Dallas with 27,000 miles. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

This is a climate question as much as a tire question. In Dallas, dedicated winters on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade paid off more than I expected on ice, even on plowed roads. Then you'll know the next fork. On “going one inch smaller for winter wheels,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
