No! The only stress that could be put on your engine/car would be your driving habits. Larger diameter wheels will make your car accelerate a little more slowly, - (depending on how your HP matched drive wheels) and smaller wheels will make car accelerate fster, -as the size sort of regulates how much horsepower is delivered to drive wheels! Big wheels will make speedometer read slower than actual, so smaller ones will make it read faster than actual! Of course tires that are way too big will make clearance problems, and possibly drag on sides in wheel wells, - especially fronts, too big (wide) can damage frame or suspension too. However these are extreme size changes!

I think you better put some tires on that thing. Running on the rims will damage the rims, and it has GOT to be a rough ride. Seriously, there's a whole lot more information that you need to give us in order to get a solid answer. Tire size, type of car, yada yada...

your car is designed to run under stress...
if 15" is the original size then it is normal...
if 15" is larger than the original then you are putting more stress but you CAN reduce the stress by using low profile tires (if the original ones were not)...
you can also beef up your drive train to take the extra stress...
also, be aware that your speed will be faster than what your speedometer reads if you have installed larger rims without low profile tires...
also, depending upon your state... it might be illegal to put larger overall tires on your vehicle as it does alter your equipment accuracy (your speedometer).

no but the only thing that will be affected when changing wheel size from factory is the speedometer the larger the wheel the faster you are actually going so watch out!!
ex if you are going 55 according to your speedo you may actually be going 60!!

well it depends on ur tranny, diff, and engine size, but speedometer doesnt need to be replaced if changing size of tires just go borrow a scanner and change settings of tire size

larger is always harder on your transmission mostly and a little bit more gas pedal is required although slushbox drivers would never notice
