yup .. its Noah's Ark .... K3's ARC ...
better be prepare then sorry ...

CHABUTSZZZZ

K3 got picture of your new bumper?

Tyres looking "fat" usually means the offset is too little.... thus when ppl change rims, they need to ask how bulging they want the rims and tyres to look.... too much (48 and your rims sits deeper into the car), too little (42 and the rims and tyres may hit the fender)...

Inspira rims offset is 46, using a 215 wont add much bulk to the looks of the rims and tyres... but have anyone used 215/55/16 on their Inspira?? You may be the first, as many will either change rims + tyres, or simply remain using CC5 205/60/16....

And the 205/55/16 will make your tyres even smaller in the wheel arch.... fugly lor....

like that i should go for 205/55/16?

or just take some normal tire that has 205/60/16?

i follow the old school style, mod from ground level. tire, brake, suspension, and then engine no la, not modding anything.

Ofcourse Tyre first... spend more $$ on tyre cause that's the ONLY part of yoru car that is actually in contact with the road.....

Edit : I also agree with modding for cornering stability, stopping power, handlign etc.... not the raw HP of the car. All my car mod also always handlign first.

But honestly, very rarely I have seen ppl go for smaller tyre size than ori..... but blame it on Proton for using odd sized tyres.....

What is your concern? Looks or wet weather performance?? If performance, then you can still use the CC5, just dont drive so crazily in the rain lor.....

Personally I would either size up or use CC5 till its dead, then size up... which exactly what I am doing now....

er, more on performance/safety.

because CC5 the only feature is quiet..... and they only do it for malaysia.

Speaking of size up.. for 17" rims.. what tyre size looks decent? DOnt ask me go for slim tyres anymore.... this car i wan comfort first... not vroom vroom power

http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator

calculator says 205/55/17

Moral of the story (actually HSK got no morals wan), only when the Poadster active in the forum does the post counts start flying. Before this the thread move damn slow.

Vroom vroom power demands 18 or 19 lor....

17 is best matched with 215/55/17, makes the wheel well not so "kosong" and you still have the comfort.... my opinion la...

It has to do with wider tyres having more contact surface area on the road. Vehicle weight remains the same.

Mathematically, Pressure = force divide by area

The rest of it ask Poadster at TT. Who says size does not matter?

yea, thats why he dont recommend to size down, only size up.

215/55/16 - another pening size

but at least can got PS3 for this size
