    diba taiwan ang concept one? ang mahal naman kung P58T. Teka, brand ba ang concept one or pangalan lang ng store? Nasa P60T up ang Rays. Tribute ang nakalagay dun sa box ng espelir e. Have to warn you though na stiff ang magiging ride ng lowered springs and 255/55-18s although sanayan lang. Anyway, shop around at marami rami na rin akong nakita na magagandang rims w/ the same bolt pattern as the tribute. Lalo na yung deep-dished tapos polished lip.

    Ok thanks, ill keep that in mind... actually i just got that pic off the conceptone website pero im not getting that exact wheel. Ganun lang style and its in chrome (18"). Mga magkano ba tamang price i should pay for 18" na taiwan made wheels? anyway, can you suggest other places i can get good rims at? Im actually really looking for deep-dished, polished-lip rims like you said. Thanks again!

    BTW, you'll have to install adjustable track rods for the rear and adjustable cam bolts for the front suspension to bring the camber specs back to factory specs. I ordered mine from summit racing.

    Ah, talaga..? S#1T, didnt know that. Do i really need to? Masisira ba yung suspension ko if i just lower and not get the cam bolts and track rods? I wont be lowering 2 inches naman eh, 1.5 nalang (H&R). By the way, how much would the above mentioned parts cost ba including installation? Thanks again!

    even if you don't lower your tribute by 2", your camber setting will change significantly. di naman masisira suspension, magiging uneven lang ang tire wear; mapupudpod kaagad ang inner treads.

    $26 yung bolts, forgot yung price nung track rods.

    try the usual places where they sell mags, west ave., evangelista, tire rack, etc.

    try bridgestone sa fort for the tires.

    265/50-18 (28.4" tall) might be too wide for an 18x8 rim as 255/55-18 (29" tall) is just right w/ 18x8.5. check w/ bluebimmer how wide are the rims his bro has.

    yung orig tires ng grand vitara & rav4 (235/60-16) are only 27" tall while your tribute's orig tire (215/70-16) is 28" tall. pag US tribute and escape naman, 235/70-16 (29").

    ask the tire store kung pwede pa test fit ng tire to your rim.

    I have another question... Will my rims (18x8) be too narrow to be fitted with 255/55r18 tires?

    Wala kasi available na 255/50r18 or even 245/50r18 na gulong dito sa pinas eh, lahat na ata ng store/brand tinanong ko na... Tsaka i cant go with a tire thats too small kasi yung Tribute 29" diameter ang stock tire size, hinahabol ko yung same size para accurate parin speedometer. Masyado na ba talaga makapal ang 255/55r18 for an 18x8 rim?

    Pede naman as long ndi sasayad or rub against the mud guards. Try mo sa Minerva tires. I know they have a branch in Alabang, not sure in Manila. Usually meron sila lahat ng brands, you can order as well. What you can do is try out the 255/55 18, move the steering(sagad mo) to test if there's no rubbing. If the looks are ok with you... then get em

    Medyo makapal nga yun 255/55 if "sporty looks" are considered. But I'd rather get thicker tires mainly of the side wall protection and comfort... but that just me hehe
