17" rims or 15" rims?

[ross]

mga bro ok din ba ang 17" sa van like starex 8 seater? as of now my brother using 15" at gusto nyang magpalit ng 17" para maiporma kahit konti.

[topgun]

tsikot gurus

question will the 15 inches stock mag wheels of the CRV fit a honda civic esi?? will u need to change the tires or align anything?
thanks

Maliit masyado ang wheel well ng Starex vans. Pwede sya maglagay ng 17s but he'll have to match it with 225/45 tires, to thin for a van, imo. Or even 215/50 for that matter kung may scrubbing.

May nakikita akong madalas sa Mendiola area, lowered Starex van with 17s kaso masyado yatang matigas yung springs, umaalon buong van pag tumatakbo.

[ssaloon]

topgun::: nope, di po kasya kasi 4 holes ang civic, 5 holes ang crv.

[ILuvDetailing]

Ok na sakin yung 15" rims na second hand, sa Adventure ko sana kakabit, I'll think I'll spend my money on good tires.

[topgun]

salamat po ng marami ssaloon thanks a lot for ur info san kaya makakakuha ng second hand na SIR mag wheels na 15 inches

although some claim na mas matipid naman sa gas ang 17's since malaki ang nasasakop niyang area...i dunno.

pero im quite sure na mas mabilis ang 15's.

sir glenn:::

heto po ang aking natutunan sa math.

the perimeter(distance travelled by the tire per revolution) of a circle(or tire, in this case) is calculated by the formula 2*pi*d/2

pi=3.1416
d/2=diameter of the circle divided by 2 or the radius

now for a 15 inch tire: 2*pi*7.5 = 47.124 inches

for a 17 inch tire: 2*pi*8.5 = 53.4072 inches

if the rpm is kept constant, it is very evident that the travel of 17 inch tire is farther than the 15 inch tire.

pero kung parehas lang tire diameter ikakabit, the rim size cancels out.

my .02 dollar po ser.

which makes me think that if you change the overall tire diameter from stock to 17's, your odometer's reading will be off by, say, a foot for every rotation. right?

math!?ano po iyon!?nakakain ba yun!?!herhehrherh..not my fave subject.

but yes.based on your calculations, at kung pagaganahin ang common sense, kung pareho ng diameter ang gulong (goma) mismo, the rim size is cancellable...

pero teka...mali ba sinabi ko?tama naman diba?mas maraming distance= "mas malaking area ang nasasakop niya" diba pareho lanbg po iyon?

ahihihihi..ikaw kasi hiniritan mo ako ng math nagkagulo tuloy utak ko!!ahrhrharh

[quindoyos]

he he he. tama ng emper***r lang bos glenn. mwehehe

na confuse ako dun sa mabilis and malayo ang nasasakop.

Sir Ungas thanks sa input, pag sabihan ko nalang ang utol ko na mag 15" nlang sya. Ganda nga porma ng van nya pangit naman performance wag nalang. Thnks !

[Ungas]

ross::: Pwede rin naman ang 16s, babawasan na lang sa sidewall spec ng goma. Yung nakakabit sa Starex namin stock mags pa rin pero pinalakihan ko yung goma, ginawa kong 225/70R15, para di agad masira pagdaan sa mga lubak. 205/70R15 kasi ang stock tires.

[ross]

ok i advise my brother about this thanks sir Ungas. Tanong ko narin ang ride ko sa pinas is Estima and planning to buy 17 ok lang ba ito? takot6 talaga ako about lubak dyan sa pinas or sa 15 nalang?psensya na daming tanong andto kc ako sa japan kaya dko alam ang condition ng road dyan sa pnas.

[Ungas]

Di po ako familiar sa laki wheel well ng Estima vans. It's quite easy to test for tire match and sizes sa mga tire shops. You can try it on 17s and hope that any tire above 60 series will fit. Medyo safe na yung 60 series which is more common to OE spec sidewall.

[ross]

Sir Ungas may idea kaba kung magkano ang 60 s. ng rim 17? planning to buy na kasi. Wala naman akong magiging problema pag kinabit ko sa Estima ko dahil swak na swak ang 17 sa Estima iyan po ang sabi sa akin ng mga tire shop dito sa japan even 18 kaya din but 17 is the best daw no need to make some adjustment.Psensya na wala kasi akong ifea about the tire/rim price sa pnas.Thnx in advance.

[JAYarc]

Kung hindi naman po conservative about ODO reading OK lang..kung hindi kailanga +-tecq tolerance of 2%..

[Ungas]

ross::: Sorry, matagal na po akong hindi bumibisita sa mga tire shops. Baka may ibang myembro na recently lang bumili?

[ross]

ok thnx parin sa mga replies.

[dbulido]

My Estima is using 235X45X17 tires no problem. price of 235X45X17 is 7,600 each Dunlop Leman's. Sa WEST RACING CAR CARE CENTER in front of MILLER WEST. Ewan ko sa ibang brand yung price kapapalit ko lang kasi ng mga tires ko.
