Hi may i know what is the max tyre size for viva? I am using Viva Elite 1000cc now. Comes with 14" rim.

If i want to change the rims, usually how much is the tyre notation should i be looking for?
TQ.

QUOTE(camel90 @ Mar 24 2011, 10:33 PM) for your information, i'm using 165/50/R15 tyres on 15'x6.5jj rims with offset 38/40. so far not hitting fender with stock suspension and 2 person on board. but i think it will hit the fender if i bring 4-5 person on board thus, as noblesse suggested, either you're using stock or aftermarket suspension(NOT adjustable), do install spring buffer to avoid hitting fender problems. this is my rim with 165/50/R15 tyres on 15'x6.5jj rims with offset 38/40 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
and this is sifoo earl-ku's » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  Spring buffer...stock/aftermarket suspension..wha??! Okay er, by adding those said 'upgrades' above + rims + tyres, approximately how much would that be  Says, the mediocore rim and falken tyres.

Okay thanks..then i was wondering if I should go to the P2 to get the sport-back-skirting?
Not sure if you guys have seen it before..but I have gone to the P2 SC and they showed me the accessories catalog. The skirting has like two exhaust at the back of the skirting. But of course, it's just a metal grill. No real exhaust. lol

QUOTE(camel90 @ Mar 25 2011, 09:10 PM) well, since you've seen the brochure i'm pretty sure you've known the price too? i'm not sure about the material for the skirting, but since it's from perodua i think they use the same material as the car bumper which is good material rather than cheap fibre that easily can be cracked. i forgot what it's called, PU material if i'm not mistaken so, it's up to you really, if you like it and you can pay for that price, go for it since the quality is assured. else, you can always do some scouting at the car accesories shops around or from the ads at the magazines or even the automotive garage sale section at LYN here for the 3rd part body kit for viva. ps : i've seen the skirting brochure from perodua at my SC too. and personally i like their design, but somehow i'm satisfied with my elite bodykit for now  The back of my elite skirting got scratch by some fan-cheong and ran away. So..yea i was thinking of changing it. I can do touch up and all but i'm looking into other alternatives If not wrong, it costs ard 400+. For the genuine P2 sports skirting la. Just wondering if any viva owner here actually took it..

QUOTE(camel90 @ Mar 26 2011, 01:32 PM) ya lor. the gap is very small  . spacer? i'm afraid the tyre will hit the fender later on since i'm using stock suspension, no? ahh...i'm sorry to hear that. hurm..i don't see many viva owners use skirting from P2 tho. either they keep their elite version, or convert to elite version or go straight to daihatsu. hahaha  Daihatsu has better body kits?
