17 inches for sub compact vehicle

[echikuo07]

Funcargo

paki check po yung pic. 17 inches po yung size ng gulong sa Toyota Funcargo (Vios engine and platform), stock size is 14 inches. Dati po siyang lowered then pinataasan daw po. May mga questions lang po ako:

1. ano po ang pros and cons having this size for a sub compact vehicle? given na ang stock nya is 14 inches lang.

2. kung gusto ko po siya ibaba kunyari sa 15 inches, may mga dapat din po ba akong palitan like springs or suspensions?

first time ko lang po kasi makakapag drive ng ganito ang size ng gulong kaya gusto ko po sana maintindihan mabuti kung ok lang po ito lalo na kung 4 lagi ang laman ng sasakyan. Thank you po sa mga sasagot!

Bigger rims means mas matagtag, especially if it was originally designed for smaller rims. Performance may also be negatively affected due to the added weight of the bigger rims. Most importantly, 17 inch tires would be a lot more expensive than 14s or 15s. Advantages bigger rims offer would of course be better looks and improved handling and stability (though still debatable, depending on the quality of the rims).

Paanong tinaasan? Reverted to stock? If I were you, I would revert to entirely stock suspension and then downsize the rims. If I were to install rims that are bigger than stock, for this car I'd go for 15s or 16s maximum.

di ko lang po sure kasi ang sabi ng unang may ari, lowered daw po dati tapos naka 17 inches na, kung mapapansin nyo po may tama dun sa front bumper parang sumayad daw po yata, kaya pinataasan nya daw po at nagpalit sya ng suspensions.

kasi po heto ang mga sitwasyon namin for this car:

1. 4 kami nakasakay madalas
2. yung lugar namin is puro humps at lubak
3. minsan drive sa highway pag luluwas pa-Manila
4. madalas city driving lang

kung ganito po lagi, ok po kaya na mag stick lang sa 17 inches? paano po kung plan ko mag 15s na lang? given na pinalitan na daw po yung suspensions para sa pinalit na 17 inches, kailangan po ba palitan ko ulit yun? o ok lang na basta mag downgrade lang ako ng 15s kahit na wala na ko galawin sa suspensions etc?

mas ok pa din po sana sa akin yung safety at comfort ng ride since kasama ko po lagi family ko. kaya please help lang po para mas makapag decide po ako kung ano mas ok since medyo limited din ang budget to buy new parts or rims, plan ko kung mas advisable na gawin talagang 15s eh i-swap or trade in na lang, and hopefully wag na din sana palitan yung suspensions.

heto nga po pala ang stock na size ng Funcargo, kung may mairecommend po sana kayo na tamang size ng 17 or 15s based sa stock, para po mas maging maayos yung takbo given the above situations. sorry po talaga at wala pa po akong idea sa mga kotse masyado.

Dati ako naka 17's sa kia rio sedan ko. Went back to stock 15's and napansin ko agad na parang ang lambot ng sasakyan. Ramdam agad yung less tagtag coming from 17's.
