    guys my ride is a ford lynx gsi '04. i plan on getting 15 x 6.5 rota wheels offset 40, the shop gave me 3 options on the tires
    -185/65 r15
    -195/60 r15
    -195/55 r15

    ok po ba offset 40? or should i search for 48 para ala sayad sa fender?
    which of the three tires should i get in terms na wala problem and comfort?
    thanks sa lahat ng magbibigay ng advice

    standard offset naman talaga ata ng lynx is 40 (same as the other japanese sedans).

    for your choice, kung magpapalower ka pa ng mga 1.5 drop, go for the 195/55/15. if you are planning to keep the height at stock, go for the 60 series.

    i'll go for 195/55R15 para medyo maporma ang dating.

    walang magiging problema ang 195/55/15 except for yung cosmetics. as mentioned previously, since the series 55 tires are more slimmer than the series 60 or 65, possible na lumaki yung tire-fender gap mo.

    but also, cosmetically, the series 55 tires would also enhance the look of your rims dahil mas manipis sya.

    on comfort, may very slight difference ang ride comfort ng 55 compared to 60 or 65, dahil syempre, since mas manipis ang goma, you may feel (may lang naman) some road roughness, imho.
