tyre shop owner told me 50 profile much heavier, not recommend...confuse.

Since you have answer why still ask ? 16" would be slightly better since will be using higher profile tire 205/55R16....

Must ask first because sifus here like u will give me advise laugh.gif

45. Anything above factory specification will hit the fender. The engineer design this for a reason. If u really want higher profile, need to downgrade to 16"

one shop told me , 205/50/R16 will slightly taller than 215/45/R17 (means the height from ground)
If 205/55R16 will much taller more. rclxub.gif

my concern is,
I need to fetch full load of students and put their bags in the trunk, that will make the car heavier thus if the gap between tyres and car body is closer, high possibility the tyre would touch the car body.

wondering what is maximum profile for 16 inch rim?

anyone knows the Forte EX specs 16" rim/tyre specs?

Bingo! I think it depends.
ws_lim83 whom uses 215/50/R17 may have not encountered any issues because he may not have had a full load in his Forte..and/or he could be driving real careful when approaching speed bumps.

In any case, based on your description of your daily drive routine, I'd recommend u get a 16" rim shod with 205/55/R16. The wheel circumference would be very much similar to 215/50/R17. It'll be approx 5mm smaller only.

a quick question here, i just changed my 4 tyres but the foreman found that all my rim dented quite seriously during balancing.

is it necessary to repair it? the foreman said better change a new set becoz repair 4 rims isn't cheap and wise. what will happen if i dont repair or change it? 

if it is better to change a new set then what are the factors should i take into consideration when selecting a new rim?

appreciate your advice

Bro, I'm facing the exactly same issue u having now.
My rims 3 out of 4 bent (bengkok).

Repair for reach rim cost 70-100 depend on how serious it is. The shop offer my top up RM400 trade in my rims and swap with same Forte 17" stock rims (used but condition good).

I was thinking if using same stock rims, the RM400 maybe not worth to spend, because driving style, road condition, stock rim quality....high possibility the same issue repeat again.

My target is downsize to 16" rims, but need to change tyres will cost a lot...

I also look forward 215/50 profile. Can we make TT to experience with your car?

Asked two shops, they said 50 is too heavy, not recommend.
Also, some embers did tried 50, but hit fender.

I can be sure that is not on this issue. It's the way that Windows detected the series of cluster is not in sequence and hence all the files will be re-arranged and put into a system folder named FOUND.000.

Anyhow I may ask this question at wrong place anyway, it's about fat32 volume issue. The file is unreadable before I insert into the car to play the songs.

Thanks for you intention to help, appreciate it smile.gif

Have u format it as FAT only?
You may have a try first smile.gif
