Hi Guys,

Just booked a Swift just now. Planning to change to 16" wheels. Can
some "sifu's" here advice me what is the correct Offset and Tyre size for
our car?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers...

Thanks.

But I wonder if I were to use 205/45/16 tyres, am I suppose to use 16x7
wheels? And if I do, what is the correct offset then?

Thanks again.

Cheers.

i'm on 205/45/17 with offset 45 and sitting on H&R lowering coils... so far
no problems at all...
i'd say that the ideal offset is 45 unless u have the intention to replace
your rear drum brake with disc then u need to get the correct offset for
your rear wheels... this happened to 1 particular swift owner who modded
his ride to the extreme... wanna know more.... get a copy of hypertune jan
2008 and pay much attention to a blue swift... or just login to
swiftclubmalaysia.com for a preview....
