For stock rims, get the ZXi 's stock size - 185/70/R14

ZXI comes only with Alloys. You may not find Steel rims of larger width.

I dont think wider steel rims are available. Like Nitrous has suggested you can go with 185/70-14 tyres.

Stock size is 165/80-14

Recommended upsizes are:

14 inches:
185/70-14
195/65-14
205/65-14

15 inches:
195/60-15
205/60-15

16 inches:
195/55-16
205/55-16

17 inches:
205/45-17
215/45-17
225/40-17

Perfect size to upgrade would be 195/60-15 (if going in for 15", which I think you should, if you want alloys. Unless you planning on 16 or 17)
I have the same size in Yoko A-Drive. You can check my garage for the pictures.

simply_sunny001 · 10th February 2009, 15:08

thanks a lot sumit

i would want not to compromise on ride quality and handling.

so now suggest the perfect upsize please.

these 2 cars swift/swift dzire will be driven in countryside too occasionally.

vikram_d · 10th February 2009, 15:11

What size rims are you looking to upsize to? 15, 16 or 17?

I recommend 15 and sticking with 195/60-R15.

SumitBahl · 10th February 2009, 15:32

I agree with vikram.
If you want to go in for 15 inches (which would not affect ride quality and handling) go in for 195/60-R15.
If you want to go in for alloys, anything below 15" is crime.

Thats the best upsize. Tyres wont bluge out and will give you great handelling and ride quality..

simply_sunny001 · 10th February 2009, 16:12

thats what i needed,

thanks a lot Sumit,Vikram.

EDIT : forgot to ask what tyre brands/alloys will you guys recommend.

Read through the thread and also the "Show off your alloys" one.

The various alloy brands are :
Imported Budget brands -Lenso, League, HR, Plati etc
Imported Premium brands - Borbet, OZ etc.
Indian brands - Aura, Neo, Apollo Acelere

And if you are planning to go for 195/60/R15, the various options are

Michelin MXV8, Yokohama A-Drives, Yokohama ES100, Bridgestone Turanza, BFG Sport etc.

I have Lenso Samurais + Yokohama A-Drives 195/60/R15. I guess this is the best upgrade for the Swift - Looks good and comfort oriented too.

15 inches:
195/60-15
205/60-15

16 inches:
195/55-16
205/55-16

Sumit, I think it should be 205/55 for 15" and 205/50 for 16".

205/60-R15 Difference - 1.19%
205/55-R15 Differnce - 2.11%

205/50-R16 Differnce - 1.32%
205/55-R16 Difference - 1.99%

You are right about 16 inchers. 205/50 is correct in 16".
105/60 is correct size in 15 inchers.
