Thanks sir shumi for the quick reply, so in that case, mas ok pa rin if i choose a 15" or 16" rim as not to sacrifice the quality of my ride, am i right???

It all depends on you. Pero pwde ka rin naman mag 17 e pero max mo na yan. Sa US kasi naka 17's sila dun. make sure na ndi low profile ang tire size mo. pwede yata ang 225 50 17 or 225 55 17

Hi sir shumi, what if i choose a rim size with the spec of 6.5x16 with an offset of +42, what will happen to my car or suspension if i change to the specs above, kasi i have read dati within this thread that if i go to a 16" rim the specs should be 6.0x16 with an offset of +51.

I think ok lang naman e. pasukat mo na lang muna. I think mas ok ang 6.5 kasi wider ito e. sa tires naman kasi mas malapad ang tires mas ok mas may grip kasi ito. My tire size now is 245 40 18. Mas ok ito sa grip

pwede mo palitan offset and rim width, tire size and find out kung ok compared sa stock mo.
