280 is too low bro. i suggest u keep and sell for rm400 in lowyat forum.
sure ppl will buy

if u go for 6.5jj, u can use 175/50/15 or 165/50/15 tyres.

175 will be more comfy, but might have sangkut problem at the rear when u fetch ppl.. unless u put spring buffer and test it..

165 wont have sangkut problem, but not as comfy as 175. coz 165 will be stretched with 6.5jj rims

im currently using 165 tyres with 7jj rims. not a comfy ride especially with hard adjustables haha

What does this jj number refers to?

My viva has 165/55/15.. Ride is bumpy like hell and the noise

My city is on 185/55/16 and I saw on the rim 6jj

Am wondering what this is

haha. i see.

BTW, stretched tyre is safe or not eh?
sorry, i'm totally noob. of course if 165 can be stretched on 6.5jj, i'm more than interested with it
oh, can you suggest one or two established taiwanese rim? i went at those two shops and OMG, too many choices and when i looked closer i saw different brands until i dont know which one is a better buy in terms of quality -,-'

JJ is the width of the rims.

take for example tyres like 165/50/15 --> 165 = width of tyre, 50 = thickness of tyre, 15 = diameter of tyre

the smaller the width of tyre, the more stretch it becomes when u use with higher JJ rims (wider rims)
the smaller the width of tyre also means lesser contact of tyre with the road.. therefore more weight of the car are dependent on this small contact
thus results in bumpy and uncomfortable ride.

normally wider tyres = more tyre surface in contact with road, thus weight of the car more evenly distributed resulting in more comfy ride.

same goes with thinner or thicker tyres. thinner tyres means thin layer of 'sponge' or 'absorbance' from road = hard and bumpy ride, as u will feel every small bumps or holes on the road
thick tyres = more 'sponge' or 'absorbance' to absorb small bumps or holes therefore comfy ride

this is just my lay man explanation based on my understanding..

Added on March 17, 2011, 9:04 pmbased on trial and error, i find that the most compatible 15" size for viva
is rim 15"x6JJ/5.5JJ with 175/50/15 tyres.. cheap and easy to find, plus comfy

anything larger than 175 will have tyre rubbing fender problem..

Added on March 20, 2011, 1:09 amguys i wanna ask what is the problem when i brake from 80km/h and above the steering feels vibrate??

This post has been edited by eddmecha: Mar 20 2011, 01:09 AM

hope that helps a bit

Yea, most probably need skimming already... I had the same case as him when braking at > 80kmph.. sent to perodua service centre and they replace a pair of disc

Latest pict of my vava... ^^

nice rims! advanti ultra light weight series.

well u can opt for any spring buffer on the market. famous ones like AMT seems to be reliable.

u can try using 1 spring buffer on both the rear.. (total 2 buffer) for 2 spring)

if still sangkut, u can try 2 buffers on each spring for the rear.. (total 4 buffer for 2 springs)

Frozen dream,not bad

if 4 buffers for rear, the ride will be a bit higher or it stays the same?

frozendream, nice ridee!!! simple yet attractive. what's the tyre and rim size btw?
