Changing mags from 14" to 16"

[hakkinen]

gandang araw mga papa.

i'm planning to upsize my stock 14" mags/tires to 16" sana with either Rota TORQUE or GRID design. just want to ask your valuable opinion sana what would be the ideal tire spec na walang rubbing issues sa ride kong '99 CIVIC VTi.

currently it's 185/65/14, ok lang ba kung i-205/55/16 ko sya? any other spec inputs? i'm leaning towards 55-series sana than 50-series due to a more comfortable ride than the latter.

btw, +45 po pala ung stock offset ng oto ko. ideally, i should stick to this pero kung hindi man, anong offset po kaya ang safe sa '99 civic ko?

thanks in advance mga papa sa inyong inputs.

sensya na po, dami ko tanong

I think sayad na yan.. ganun din sana plano ko sa 16's ko eh. Hanggang 50 series lang yung pwede sa car ko

ah ganon ba sir? kamusta nman yung ride nya, hndi ba gaano matagtag ang 50-series?

actually, if ever first time ko kasi mag palit ng mas mababang profile from my stock-spec tire use, that's why i'm getting feedbacks sana sa mga drivers na nakapagpalit na to 55 or 50-series. tbh, i really don't mind if 50-series is the way to go in my case, as long as walang rubbing issues.

salamat sir!

Hi sir!

Nakapagpalit ka na ba ng mags & tires mo? anong size/series ang kinuha mo? Any difference in comfort from original stock mags/tires?

TIA.

gud pm mga sirs, nabuhay na pala ulit 'tong thread ko.

Yes sir, i changed my mags na. Mga over 2months ago na rin po yata.
I must say that the difference in handling/ride is acceptable considering that i went 2 sizes bigger from my stock. Ngayon, medyo may kaunting ramdam sa mga konting lubak pero not that extreme naman. Ika nga, mas ramdam mo lang yung mga textures ng daan pero ok nman. I like it this way, para mas meron akong clues what goes under me. But for me, the positives outweighs the negatives. A lot more feel on the road plus porma, hehe.

IMO, 16" is just perfectly right if ever you'll go on upsizing your mags. It's the best compromise between comfort & porma sa case ko, but then aspect ratio on your tires will contribute also. Sa aking ride na '99 Civic, i went 195/50/16. I could have gone 45-series but later on changed my mind nung bibilhin ko na yung gulong, gusto ko pa rin kasing may konting kapal ng rubber between the mags & the road. Also, wala rin pong rubbing issues dahil 195 lang po yung width ko, tamang safe lang po ba

Sir,

Thanks for the speedy reply... I'm also leaning in getting the 16" with the same tire size as yours 195/50/16. I'm using Vios '06 model. If you don't mind, where did you purchased your mags & tires (brand/model)?
I've already scouted at P. Tuazon in Cubao & Lamuan, Marikina (most of the shops here are branches of Cubao).

Thanks!

Hi rubenbfelipe!

I decided to get 15" mags w/ 195/55/15 tires instead of 16". Comfort wise, it's still the same with the stock mags. 14" din ang stock mags w/ 175/65/14. I suggest, think wisely... 16" kasi for me is malaki na sa ride ko. There might some rubbing issue at full turn ng sasakyan... Just go for the 15" for your city. It will still depend on your decision.

[trx333]

sir hakkinen..

we'v got the same ride, anong brand ung mags na gamit mo sir and your tire also, and how much u spend for dos.. tamang isalpak na lng ung gulong mu na un sir, wala ng ibang papalitan or ader issues??

[hakkinen]

sorry po for the very much delayed response mga bros, dami kasing labada sa office.

i got my mags/tires at evangelista, i forgot the store's name but if you're coming from ssh, it should be the first corner store on the right. it's a very slightly used Rota Torque gunmetal. total damage sa bulsa ko is 16k (all-in), nkabawas na kasi ni-trade in ko yung stock vti mags/tires ko. i got nankangs NSII for my new mags and i should say i'm very satisfied po sa performance at price ng nabili ko. store owner/manager's name is Mang Joe, madaling kausap at aasikasuhin ka talaga. tamang tsamba talaga ako sa nabili ko, spot-on sa talagang gusto at plano ko.

*ttrx333: diretsong kabit na lahat yun bro. pero habang nagkkwentuhan kami ni Mang Joe, suggest nya saken to get the 195 width just to be sure sa ride ko. plano ko kasi dapat is 205, buti na lang nabigyan nyako ng tip. 205 could work if you'll go 15's. halos wala rin namang diiference sa lapad kung tutuusin. ngayon, wala namang sayad yung gulong ko even at full turns. btw, libre na rin yung wheel balancing (should be sa mga tire shops na bibilhan nyo).

goodluck mga bros sa upgrade ng mga wheels nyo.

Hello mga bossing! This is my 1st post. More than 2 months na din ako nag-lulurk dito hehe. Ang dami ko talagang natutunan.
Plano ko din sana palitan ng mags ang 2004 sentra gx ko.
babagay/kasya kaya ang 16" mags at 195/50/16 tires?
kelangan bang i-lower pag pinalitan ang mags?
anong say nyo mga bossing?
thanks in advance!

hakkinen,
ok bro salamat, plano ko din kasing mag 16 pero not now, marami pa kasing gastusin e. pero ask ko lang din bro, have no knowledge pa kasi ehehe. yung mga 16's ba pare parehas lang ba width to fit that 195 width of the tire? if not, what should be the perfect width ng mags to fit the 195 width of the tire? ibase na lang yung sa iyo na walang sayad bro para ganun na lang din hanapin ko later para walang aberya. thanks

Papa,
eto ang makakasagot sa tanong mo:
http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp

Just put in all the specs for the tires & mags & sasabihin sa yo ang comparison sa dimensions.
Generally, kung pareho lang ng diameter lalabas based sa tire specs swak yan. Ngayon sa offset na magkakatalo.

All the best!

Cheers!

I use also 15" mags .If you want comfort this is the right size and 195/55/15 is just so good no need to worry about the big pot holes .
195 /50/15 is like you feel the texture of the road .

Good Day to all! May plan din kase ako magpalit ng mags from 14s to 15s. Gusto ko lang malaman kung tataas ba ung kotse pag nagpalit ako ng mags?
TIA!

mas tataas ng konti ground clearance mo sir kung 14" to 15". yung distance naman ng tire sa wheel well, mas lalapit. lahat ng distances will be dependent kung anong series ang pipiliin mo.

[tonchie420]

pano po ba nalalaman kung ano ang OFFSET for a specific car? lets say altis '06, salamat in advance

[JaYaRxy02]

thanks for the tip bro! i can say i am one happy and satisfied customer. went yesterday to Mang joe's. the name of the store is wheelhaus. got a very slightly used set of rims and tires at a very cheap price also. very easy to deal with too.
