Help (Tire and Rims size)

yeah a 50 profile will be great and even up to 7.5" width is no problem...with 16" and 50-55 profile, you don't need to worry about bent wheels..really...with that safe choice, you really can buy any wheel you like...but yes, at the cheapest and depending on your bargaining skills, 2000 for brand new wheels + 1500 for 4 Kumho KH17 tires + 200 for alignment and balancing...keep in mind i mention Kumho only because they are the best value for money performance tire I found...I drive my car hard late at night and thus needed a great summer tire which also is cheap enough to replace yearly...you can pay more and get better tires...they would be better only in the sense that they would be less noisy than the Kumhos...and the Kumho's wet weather performance is equal to or greater than some much more expensive brands...best of luck and enjoy your car once done :-)

Thanks to all, Mohdata, khali, i think ill go for 16" and profile will be 50 or 55? what about the width of the rims? and lastly as you said, dont go for the cheap rims as they can easily crack or bend, how much will cost for 4pcs 16"x6 + new tires? any idea on this? thanks to all! appreciated

yes as harry said, check if your springs are ok; they should be ok for a 6 yr old car but check...shock absorbers are a different from springs so check those too; finally, if its ok, then you can get spring spacers which will give you more clearance..it cost 200 to do on my car so not sure what's available for 30QR..there's a shop called bruce lee towards the end of salwa road and he did a good job on my car, no problems yet...one other thing, find out whether your wheels are rubbing the metal fender outside or the shock absorber on the inside...maybe the wheels are too wide for the well...but this is unlikely...best of luck..

Help me too.Recently I change honda civic 2009 wheels to 17".but the problem is car rear body is touching the tyre.should I change the spring or bushes

oh man sorry another thing; you can get high quality used alloy wheels on salwa road and get them repainted for the same price as for brand new lower quality wheels...look, i'm not scaring you about the new cheaper wheels..most probably you will be fine; but its true that those wheels will be slightly weaker than your stock steels or used high quality ones..just something to consider that's all...and yes, along with the wheel alignment, get a wheel balancing too to avoid vibrations..i'm done now

oh another thing haha; do not get too thin a tire for the wheel; if you're buying the cheaper wheels, remember that their construction will be cheaper too and thus a big pothole or bump could easily crack/bend a wheel or burst a too thin tire..thus, if you drive fast, do not go any lower than a 45mm profile tire but if you drive slow and gentle, then you could get away with a 40mm sidewall profile:-)

another thing, your speedometer will under read with bigger wheels....if speedo says you're going 100 for example, in reality you might be going 103-105 kmph so just a bit careful at traffic lights and speed cameras...try to find out if someone, maybe the nissan dealer, can re-calibrate the speedo for you; i've been wanting to get mine done but haven't so far...i went from 15-17 too but my speedo hasn't put me in trouble with the cameras yet...so i'm guessing a 2 inch increase hasn't affected the speedo THAT much..best of luck

you can go any size you want as long as it fits in your wheel well; however, usually, up to 2 inches up from stock size will create no problems..you won't notice too big a visual difference with 16" rims so I suggest you check how a 17" rim would look....i'm sure you'll like 17" better..the advantage is you MIGHT have better handling/stability and the car will look nice...the negative is a slight drop in fuel economy and acceleration due to the increased weight of a larger wheel/tire combo...also, you need to get an alignment after the change, due to altered suspension geometry; you don't need any police paperwork for this...best of luck:-)...also, please do not buy cheap tires; at the very least, you can buy Kumho Solus KH17 but please no Chinese tires. The handling you gain from bigger wheels will be immediately lost with your cheap Ling Long or Wanli tires.
