Hi sifu's, i'm new to this and i am thinking of changing my hr-v stock 16" to 18", is there a need for me to change the stock absorbers? if yes, do the tyre shops carry them in hand or i need to buy them separately? thks!

QUOTE(leehernandez @ Nov 1 2015, 11:16 AM) stock absorbers can use back. dont have to change them. Thanks for the reply. However will the stock absorbers wear out faster given the heaviness, width of the new rims/tyres? Is there any pointers when I visit the local tyre shop so that I don't get throat slashed. |

QUOTE(leehernandez @ Nov 1 2015, 12:55 PM) so far no issue..most change sport rim without changing suspension.tyre use 225/50/18.some of the members using 235/50/18. what rim are u going to change?width and offset have to be suitable as well. QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Nov 1 2015, 08:46 PM) Don't need to change the suspension lah. Just make sure the new rims and tyre gives you the same diameter as the 16". Make sure the offset and width is suitable for your car so it doesn't cause fender rubbing and/or hitting your suspension. Cool. thanks for the feedback guys. I have not decided which on the rims yet and may set a day to go shopping. Any good recommendations?  |
