I noticed I keep on quoting here, hope thats not a problem

5J means the width of the rim is 5 something.. inch maybe? but I don't remember what J means But simply put, it specifies rim width. Allowable tyre sizes depends on rim width for it not to be too squeezed or stretched out. For example, 5J rims are suitable for 165 tyres up to 175. 185 is max, but not advisable I think.. btw 185 is the width of the tyres. U might wanna see this page on the min, recommended and max rim width for XM2 for you to understand more:

Yup 165/60/14 is only limited to NCT5. Which is why I've thought about getting 185/60/14 XM2 tyres, a common size. But if the stock rims are 5J, then that might not be suitable. If 5.5J, that would be great. This page has updated info on available tyres and their prices:

Haha I'm new too, this is my first car But I can get obsessed over something sometimes, and this happen to be it... so I've been reading a lot   I think I got the facts right, or else hopefully someone expert will come & correct me 

Yup, aric_68 said it's 5.5J... but it'd be good to have it confirmed 1st with something as a reference before I go ahead with the plan. I think this year's i10 (nowadays no more standard spec, just hi spec & the price's gone up to 56k) use different rims. I saw one in Wangsa Walk & the rims look cooler to me haha.

I'm with you on that! I'm against upgrading just for the looks with cheap & heavy rims Advanti or enkei light rims might be a good start... that is if I do have to upgrade & have the budget

hi, what bulb have u change...??? Osram Night Breaker Plus...???
the original i10 rim is made in our local...malaysia... brand JRD...!!!(the weight is heavy). Unlike europe or overseas i10 rim got better quality & QC...!!!
cos i10 in malaysia is CKD model producing by Inokom , not imported CBU model...!!! So that All the accessories are local 1... and also installed by local Sime Darby...!!!
the accessories include:- mp3 & cd Headunit, central locking & alarm system, rims & etc....!!! if u see the overseas i10 central locking & alarm system not same like malaysia... they all come with different type of remote plus emobilizer...

hi bro, the michelin xm2 is out of the size for i10 5.5J rims.... cos the most closer size also only is 175/65/R14(too high) and 185/60/R14(too wide)...

have to take out the whole headlamp while u changing the bulb.....

Hmm that means changing the rims to lighter ones would certainly be worth it like what u did. I like the stock design though 

hi bro, u should care full while u remove the headlamp.... the most important screw is some where near back of the headlamp signal lamp there(some where near the aircond pipe there....!!!
when the time u fix bck, be careful the lower clip(make sure the lower clip slot in 1st...).....

booked i10 1.25 full spec, cant wait to get it. Can I get 400km 50% city 50% highway?

well i have my 2012 FL !.35 High Spec one, Only 300km per full tank,    100% city driving though. Sent for first service, notice the car is a bit better are acceleration. but 100% better than Myvi, more solid this one.

Errr how to replace the light bulbs again..? I've bought the Osram NB+ but I don't think I'd be able to replace them Lacus, u mentioned there's a sixth screw? Could u give me a detailed explanation/steps needed to replace the bulbs? Big thanks in advance!
