brother and sisters, wanted to ask.
if i were to purchase 1.6SX. can i change my rim to 16" later. i like the specs and features of 1.6sx more, but i think that if i were to be in the city longer. i think 16" rim fits me more. are there any harms? or totally no? any circumstances like voiding warranty or? |

QUOTE(gregy @ Jan 24 2012, 03:24 AM) I don't think you would face any problems downgrading to 16" wheels. As long as the rims are 16" x 7" with a PCD of 114.3mm and an offset of ET45 and above, with a tyre dimension of 205/55 16, you should be fine. In any case you can argue that you are keeping within the specs of what is offered on the 1.6EX. Just bear in mind that with a 205/55/16 wheel size your speedo will under-declare by a very slight margin (0.5%) which is negligible. Your car will also be 3.3mm taller which is also highly negligible. but the pick up will be faster right? i am not a forte user yet, but if i purchase it, i am planning to change it to 16" tyre because i am worry about the 1.6L engine could not make much performance with such a big tyre. and i am more to city. is it advisable actually? |
