Replacing Wheels

[robgowild]

I have a question guys. Is it recommended to use a lower offset and wider wheel than the OEM wheels.

I'm planning to put 17x7 48 offset to replace my 17x6.5 52.5 offset wheels. Any advise guys kung okay lang ba eto?

Short answer is no. Stay with in the manufacturer specs. Luluwa yung mags...

Konting load, may rubbing issue na.

Kung talagang trip mo yung wheels why not. Hindi naman masyado nagkakalayo ng offset saka lapad eh. Kung may rubbing, just do fender tuck. Yung iba nga wild ng offset pwede eh. Yan sayo ok pa yan. Hindi pa yan yung nasa "stance" category. Pasok pa yan sa form and function.

Pagnaka stace yan yung mga nakatagilid n yung wheels? Tama ba? Di ba camber kit ang nakalagay pag ganon

Oops ot pala:D

[saksidriver]

Yung rim na gusto naman ni Ts mukhang conservative naman ang width and offset. Ang mga ginagamit kasi sa stance yung sobrang baba ng offset.

I would rather have the correct offset than risk rubbing issue and fender roll na pwede simulan ng rust.

[saksidriver]

Yup. But those rims na na mention ni ts eh almost same spec sa OEM niya. Di gaanong malayo. So he can go ahead anytime. Kung talagang trip niya yung rims. Mind you, it's hard to find an aftermarket rims na same spec as your oem unless siguro pasadya ka pagawa. So most likely hindi na niya kakailanganin mag fender role. But i beg to disagree na takaw kalawang at takaw bulok kapag naka fender role. Mine was fender roled 5 years ago and no problems so far about rusting issue.

thanks for the info guys. Tama ka nga sir saksidriver, according to Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit di sila nagkakalayo and di masyado magkalayo spec nya s OEM.

So next question ko naman is kung anong tires kaya mas bagay. I currently use 215/45/17. Okay na kaya eto or my other choices are 225/45 and 225/40. Kung 225/45 hindi kya mag rub sa fender yung tires , anu kaya sa tingin nyo?

[saksidriver]

Well kung naka 215 ka na naman pwede na yan na muna gamitin mo. Try mo muna kung gaano ka forgiving ang wheel well mo. Try mo tanchahin kung pwede pa mag 225. Hindi naman malayo yung width ng rims na ipapalit mo. Baka mas gumanda pa ang itsura ng pagkabalot ng 215 na goma mo kasi 7 na width ng rims mo. Kasi kung mag 225 ka, may risk nga na mag rub sa fender. Kasi nagbawas ka ng offset so medyo lalapit sa fender yan.

Kung within manufacturer recommendation ok lang.

Siguro Swerte ka na sa fender roll na walang rust. Marami sa mga shop na kilala ko bumabalik customers kasi sinimulan ng kalawang.

Well wala naman ako pakialam since car niyo yan. Sige lang... Fender roll lang. Basta walang sisihan.

[saksidriver]

Marami din naman ako kilala na nakapagpa fender roll na walang problema. Well maybe nasa competency na din ng shop na nagfe fender roll. Malas na lang siguro nung shop na kakilala mo, marami nagkaproblema sa kalawang after nila i fender roll. Baka pukpok method yun hindi ginamitan ng roller.. Hehe.

Ahh OK. Papafender roll ako sayo. OK lang ba bigyan mo ko warranty 5 years? Para wala ako kaba na mag kalawang.

[saksidriver]

And now gusto mo na magpa fender role? Hehe. Wala ka naman yata rubbing issue kasi sinunod mo yung manufacturer's spec ng rims eh. Bakit ka pa papa fender role? What's the point. Tinanong ni ts kung pwede yung rims niya, sinagot mo agad "NO". Hindi mo pa nga alam kung pasok yung rims niya. Porket nag iba lang offset saka width no na agad. Hehe. Pag sumabit eh di balik stock. Hehe. Kung gusto niya i fender role i di i fender role.

You said kasi walang risk ng kalawang sa fender roll. Wala, gusto ko subukan if stand by your word and give me 5 year warranty.

As I've said within manufacturer specs ok lang.

[saksidriver]

Oh well bili ka muna ng wheels na not recommended by the manufacturer yung talagang mag rub sa fender mo, then saka ka magpa fender role. Or else sasayangin mo lang pera mo sa pagpapafender role kung wala ka naman rubbing issue. I don't own a shop so i can't give you a warranty. Eh tiis tiis sa stock rims kung ayaw magpa fender role. Or negative camber ng konti kaso sayang naman sa gulong.

Ahh OK. Seems like you can't stand by your word.

[saksidriver]

Siguro sinuwerte lang ako at yung mga kakilala ko. Kasi inalam muna nila pros and cons ng modification na gagawin nila. And they were happy with that. At yung mga kakilala mo naman na kinalawang ang fender, i feel sorry for them. Maybe next time bili na lang ng bagong oto then iwas na lang sila sa modification. Dun na lang sila sa manufacturer's spec na sinasabi mo. At ikaw naman, wag ka na papa fender role kung wala ka naman rubbing issue. Hehe. Happy modding.

Yeah sure... Still can't stand by your word.

[saksidriver]

Ok sir. Hahahaha. Hope ts would be happy with his new rims and hope he wouldn't experience rusting issues like your friends did should he go to fender role route because he didnt follow the "manufaturer's spec" of rims. Haha.
