hi. i own an 82 te wagon. i was wondering if i had to change the diff set up on my wagon to be able to fit size 15" to 17" mags? if so what do i need and how do i do it? i currently have 13" hotwires on there and they run ok but i think its time to go bigger. what size tyres do i need to complete a set of 15"?

and help would be good.

thnks for laughing. i didnt need it. the reason i had asked the q was bcause i have a friend who has a 83 tf sedan and he had to change his diff to be able to mount on size 14" mags.
this was the confusion for me. i already new that they would fit but i needed to clarify it.the reason y i had to ask about the tyres was bcause the tyres that i have on my 13" hotwires make the car sit too low. trust me i know what im talkin about.
anyways ty 4 the help gene. muchly appreciated.
