    mags and tires gurus
    ano po cons ng wider mags
    from 15x7 to 15x8
    15x8 to 15x10

    pansin ko nung nagpalit ako ng mags from 15x7 to 15x8 naging donut ang tires pabilog ang sidewall, tapos parang bumaba pa ride ko (which is ayaw ko).

    mas ok ba wider mags?
    and wider tyres in general?
    thanks in advance

    Pros:::
    -wider grip for better handling.
    -in terms of aesthetics, mas maporma.
    -in terms of safety, more parts of tire come in contact with the road. (considering braking distance)


    Cons:::
    -puts more strain on your engine, therefore more gas consumption.
    -more strain on your steering mechanism.
    -difficulty when changing tires, (mas mabigat pala ang malapad)
    -physical limitations of the wheelwell (kakasya ba?)



    All in all, it depends on your usage. :D

    Ako naman mas gusto ko medyo "underwidth" ang wheels ko para mahigpit ang kapit ng goma at may 'ballooning' effect sa sidewalls for added wheel protection.

    Ganda ng 32X12.5R15's sa stock Pajero alloys.
