      Will upgrading from 14" to 15" wheels cause a check engine light?

      I found some LS wheels in the junk yard for my old Aveo. With the tires, I've gained a few inches of circumference.

      Just wondering if this is the cause of a recent Check Engine light. I've been switching brands of gas so that could be it too.

      best thing to do would be to got to your local Autozone (or any of the other Major Parts Houses) and have your car scanned for codes; all the bigger tire/rim combination does is change the accuracy of your speedometer, or cause the ABS system (if Equipped) to flip out.
