The original car came with 15-inch tyres, but the previous owner changed them to 17-inch tyres.


Will this make the car more difficult or expensive to repair later?


Will it affect the suspension or undercarriage?



That’s really unfortunate…


If I want to change all four tyres and rims from 17-inch back to 15-inch, how much would it cost?

Does the previos owner change the absorber to adjustable? Lowered the car?
17 inch tyre definitely expensive compared to the 15 inch for sure

From my experienced with my old toyota camry acv30 2.0e year 2003, installed gab adjustable absorber and gab spring, setup bit stiff then standard.. The lower arm and some handling parts tend to worn out fast plus the tyre also the same, now all back to factory standard for the absorber and spring plus all handling parts changed, it feels better now

Right, lesson learned, from that moment everything back to factory standard, more comfort and most parts will be last long then before 😉

Tyres excluded:

Do you know 15 inch tyre must use 15 inch rims right?

The car seller agent ask me this question.


Can 15 inch tyre use 14 inch rims or 16 inch rims?

Almera is not a powerful car

Change to bigger rim will make it sluggish
