Swift with 16'ers? Edit: 15" white alloys now fitted + pics

iraghava · 12th November 2007, 21:35

195/55 R16 - Not available in either Michelin or Yokohama.

You can get 205/50 R16 in Michelin PP2 & Yoko S-Drives. This is for your yet to be delivered Swift, right?

Only 195 tyre available in 16" is Goodyear Ventura 195/50-16.

195/55-16 is a correct upsize for Swift but there are no good tyres available in that size.

205/50-16 S drives - Rs 6500 per tyre.

You can try and import 195/55 16s from Bangkok or Dubai. S.Drives are available internationally in that size, but they are not sent to India.

So I guess, you're going to unveil your car at the 2010 Commonwealth Games when she's finally delivered

Ishaan bhaiya, kya kare? On a more serious note though, car should finally be here in 2 weeks.

Does Yokohama make either the ES100 or the AVS Sport in 205/50/R16 ? I guess it must be around the same cost as the S-drive (ES100 might be a bit cheaper perhaps).

EDIT: Sorry, I should have just checked the website. So the ES100 is available in 205/50/R16, but the closest size for the AVS Sport (which looks hotter IMHO) is 205/55/R16. I guess that wont really work for a Swift. Any idea whether the ES100 is available in India in that size and how much?

Only S drives come in 205/50-16.

Dude ...congrats for a nice selection, makes me jealous !!!, is this the white colored alloy or its andodised white..? And do let me know how do they fit, personally i would suggest a 15" considering the ride quality.

Yeah and this would be more suitable right.

Am I wrong in thinking 205/55/16 would have the tendency to touch the wheel arches? Whereas 55 profile on 195/55/16 would not interfere as much.

kpzen · 14th November 2007, 11:35

205/50-16 won't foul anywhere..
205/55-16 will surely touch the wheel arches and also while taking a full turn.
195/55-16 is just on borderline. May touch or may not. Depends on various factors.

Why don't u consider 205/55-15..or 195/60-15...?
