Hi Gary,

I am using OZ Racing 15" X 6.5 with offset 43 shod with 195/60/R15 Goodyear Eagle F1 GDS2 (Unidirectional 'V' tread). There is absolutely no issues with the rim size, however please stay away from the Goodyear Eagles!! The tryes are not very soft so ride is pretty bumpy. These tyres are also very noisy but provide excellent handling in wet weather. However i am planning to upgrade to 16" X 7 with 205/50/R16 Yokohama S-Drives OR Michelin Pilot Preceda. I would not suggest Goodyear.

i got goodyear eagle f1 v pattern tyers recently with 16 inch alloy (7.5j)

205/50/r16

Hi guys ,

I have changed my swift vdi stock tyres from 165/80/R14 to michillin 185/70/R14 kindly advice that is that the correct tyre size i got for my car and how much tyre pressure should be kept in front and rear to have a good FE and better pickup

That tyre size is indeed correct for your car.

34 PSI in front and 31 PSI in the rear would give you good FE and better pickup. If you want a very confortable ride use 32 PSI in the front and 29 in the rear.

Hi Zenopio,

I like your rims. Very BMW type. Any issues with the 7.5J width? Are they touching anywhere at full lock or full load? How is the ride on 50 profile?

hey guys pls help me choose between these two models for my red swift.both are 15"alloys.i have decided to go in for the yoko s drive as per the suggestions of the tyre gurus.please help....

I'd go for the LG-190. While I am a die-hard fan of 5 spoke alloys, the LG-203 has too much jewellery on it. The 190 is classy.

thanks budddy ..no not even a single issue and i feel the ride is the same as my previous 15 inch alloyes with 50 profile ,

ride is good clap: and i am enjoying the attention people are giving to my ride:)

why are you not going for 16 inch buddy , even i went for 15 inch before but i was not satisfied so got 16 now...

I upgraded my Swift Ldi Tyres @ 33k kms to 185/70 , Potenza G III's . . GLUE thats the WORD . done around 4k after the upgrade .

After so much of reading through the forums.....i have finalized on the lg 190 15"alloys and the yoko s drive 205/55/r15.Thanks to all the bhpians who has helped me to make the right decision.will post the pics soon.:)

Hi guys,

What is the offset value of the stock rims on the Swift Vxi? I have upgraded to 15" X 6.5J with an offset of 43. I am now planning to upgrade to 16" X 7J OR 16" X 7.5J with 205/50/R16 tyres. What should be the offset of the same and how is it calculated?

38 shud be the offset,mine is 38 with 7.5j
