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:

There's nothing wrong with quoting la =P.. but man XM2 tyres are sure pricey but good. Thanks for the explanation. Still new in car world .. My first car I though someone mention it's 5.5J? if 5.5j means can pasang XM2? Side not, i do notice there 2 different type of stock rims right? + not a fan of cheap rims ..

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

Oh great! May I know where you got that info? May need it as a reference

Same here Should be getting my new lightbulbs by tomorrow .. My rims are the same as below. Looks quite nice thus thats why i don't wanna have it changed

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...

Me? Ring Automotive Xenon Ultima only haha.. Want longer beam .  Malaysia mah =.=.. what u expect =P... but confirm can fit kah? My usual tyre shop told me only Good Year can fit (the measurement, not other tyres to change to)

Was considering Michelin XM2, dunno can fit stock rim or not .. (newbie in tyre)

HI I10 User

can i know is the I10 easy can get 13km/l on fc ?

for auto model?

Okay thanks bro Anyway I knew about our i10 being made locally in Kulim.. but to think the stock rims are JRD JRD's are considered the looks-good-but-cheapo-heavy rims. It kinda piss me off knowing that regardless of the fact that they're alloy rims... plus, we couldn't get immobilizer, ESP or similar number of airbags+side airbags

Personal experience: Not easy to achieve 13km/l. Unless you have a light foot. I get around 12.5-13.5. Worse days I get 11-12. But I drive 80-90% highway; this car is more suited for city drive.

I really think european i10 are better equipped to achieve the advertised FC. So if you don't mind investing in energy-saving tyres, lighter rims and whatnot, it will help.

Somehow i like the design. Can the stock rim take other size rim? currently eyeing on Michelin XM2. Oh my lightbulbs just arrive. shall change it later tonite =)

yes bro, the i10 rims are 100% JRD wheels.... cos when the time i change my rims... i seen it my self... at d bck on the rims put JRD..!!!

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, 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.....

Yup. Just 3 screws only
Same thing, like the stock rim. Which mean no other tyres to use? Does the stock size come in other brands too?

If only they have 175/60/14 it would make things easier. I've been checking on stock tyre sizes for European/Indian i10 & the width are usually 175, not 165. So I really think the stock tyres (165/60/14) are not of the original tyre diameter i.e it's not 0% difference to Hyundai recommended overall diameter. Which means, 185/60/14 can fit. They do for European ones, so I believe it shouldn't be any different here.

if i not mistaken is 4 to 5 screws have to take out for FL model (i have change my bulb b4 also).... if u see the user manual that only show it 3 screws...it because the user manual is non FL model....

for the tyres, yes. u can try falken, goodyear, dunlop, brigestone...
