HELP about rims and tires

Alam ba ng shop na bibilihan mo ng rims and gulong ang match or recommended na sukat sa kotse mo?

Most reputable shops ay alam na ang stock size, bolt pattern at offset ng rims mo just by looking at your vehicle dahil malamang nakapag install na sila sa similar car. Unless gusto mo ng wider diameter or different offset ng rims then I suggest better test fit mo na lang.

usually, yes.
but i would still recommend you look for the recommended specs. the owner's manuals usually mention them. baka kasi yung baguhan sa shop ang ma-datnan nyo.
google also helps, if you know your way around it.

Salamat sa Input mga Sir. Actually, diko naman talaga type yung mga malalapad na gulong. same size lang din gusto kase, nabasa ko online na di basta nagpapalit ng rims and wheels kase pwede maapektuhan yung suspension etc.

Nalilito lang kase ako dito sa site na to, Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets - Wheel-Size.com - wheel and rims calculator sya, so diko maintindihan hahaha. kaya tinanong ko dito. Kung most likely nman alam nila sa shop then wala nmn siguro magiging problema.

PS. Since mirage hatch kotse ko, ang nakalagay lang sa manual eh yung size ng stock na gulong for both trim models. So diko alam kung yung stock na '15 ng GLS model eh pwede sa GLX which is '14 kase, yung lower trim model eh walang stabilizer bar, so baka matagtag pag manipis na gulong ang ilagay. Pero same width nmn.

Salamat ng marami.

that is what the tire calculator is for, po.
input the numbers for the 15 inch, and those for the 14 inch. you will then be able to compare the diameters and circumferences. the closer they are to each other, the closer the odometer and speedometer readings will be to each other, should you choose to replace tires. it will also give you an idea on which tire size will probably not rub against the wheel well and body.
but as since both tire sizes are factory, i expect very minimal differences in diameter and circumference. they should be inter-exchange-able.

the calculator is used to see just how far your choice of aftermarket tire size will be, from the factory spec.

thank you. So napansin ko nga may odo and speed reader sa calculator. Question, how does that affect the odo and speedometer reading? Ibig sabihin din ba, yung factory wheel hindi basta nabibili sa labas pag magpapalit?

Another thing is, sinunod ko lang yung factory spec ng gulong pero bakit makapal yung rubber na lumalabas eh yung 15' ng GLS model eh manipis yung gulong.

Pasensya na first time kase. hehe. pero malaki tulong to, salamat

if you use a tire with smaller circumference than factory spec, your odometer will give more km traveled than the truth, and your speedometer will give you higher speed than the truth.

most car manufacturers use tires that are commercially available to you and me. if not that brand in particular, at least the tire size and aspect ratio, but different brand.

..."makapal na rubber..."? read on aspect ratio, po. the explanation is long, but the diagrams google will give, make it easier to understand.

Thanks Sir. Will take a note of this po.

Hello, follow up question;

can we consider lesser know wheel brands as quality wheels as well?

Halimbawa gusto mo makatipid ng konte, well given na mahal tlg yung mga legit reputable brands. How about yung mga ibang brand? Okay bang alternative yung mga ganon?

Pamilyar ba kayo sa Auto Bandados sa may Evagelista? Legit ba mga rims don?

buy branded, from authorized outlets. google them, sir.
'tis the only way, one can be reasonably assured that the product ain't fake and is of good quality.

i'm not saying the less-known brands are bad. but there must be a reason why they're selling for cheaper.
