• Good day. I am new here..


    My name is Marco from PH.


    Anyways, I would like to ask any advise on wheel upgrades?? I have tried reading through the upper forums yet, I couldnt get the translator to translate. Anyone here upgrade their wheels to 16" or 17"??? What offset is best? 17" ET +45 okay?? and could i put 205/45 or 205/40 tires?


    thanks in advance :) <3 Brio

  • Hallo Marco...


    If you want to upgrade your rims to 16" or 17", first you have to choose offset size. ET 42 is the minimum offset fot your brio, ET 45 will be more secure.


    After that if you don't want to modify or upgrade your suspension kit, my suggestion don't use rims which have more then 7" wide.


    I'm using 16" rim, ET.42 and with tyres 195/50/16. If you go with 17" rim, please consider to use 40 profile.

  • my choice of rims are r16 ET +40 or I can find a r16 ET +45.. The 17" is though 17x7.5 ET 45??? would that be good??? with r16 195/50/r16??? or R17 205/40 is what im thinking from achilles???

    My experience used 16 inch rim, ET.40 with 7" is still dangerous for my Brio. if I carry 4 persons in my car, sometimes the rims will hit your front plastic fender.


    I never use 17" rim haha....too big and too heavy.


    But back again...that's depend on what modification theme do you like. For example...elegan ? Street racing ?


    If you go with more than 7" wide and less then ET.42...prepare extra cash for suspension modification

  • @"Marco Roa Frias" Here is 16" - Stock Wheels from GK5. No Rubbing at all. For you, I do reccomend to use 195/50/16 for daily driving instead 205/45/16. Normally on 16x7.0 wheels the offset is around +42. Since the car is FWD, you probably will see the front tires a little bit out from the fender, but you could always use Camber Bolt and set it up around -1.5 degree during wheel alignment. 1.5 to 2 degree is alright, you will have a better cornering. Toe Setting is always 0. During Straight line you will feel a little bit less traction, but its no problem at all.

  • Hello again, ive done some calculations is it safe to mount a 195/50/r16 with a rim of 16x7 ET 45??? via calculators it says its 3.06% difference while 205/45/16 is arpund 1.28% different?
