Hi All,

This is my first post on Team-BHP. I saw this site while I was browsing on the internet. I found the site very informative. At the same time I was planning to change my vehicle's stock tyres to Alloys (I have a 2004 Wagon-R Vxi).

After looking at various threads I decided to go for Michelin tubeless & decent alloys. I wanted to stick to the original size 155/65/13. However Touqeer at Auto Fusion, Koramangala advised me to go for the next oversize 165/70/13. I put in the oversize tyres, but last night I realized the tyre touch the body on rough roads.

Now I want to know if any of you faced this problem. Do I need to go back to the original size. Touqeer said the original size will damage my alloys as the wall is not very big. Is this true?

Please help me, I am totally confused......
