Replacing Wheels

**robgowild** · October 29th, 2014 11:46 PM

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

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** · October 31st, 2014 04:13 AM

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** · October 31st, 2014 11:28 PM

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.
