New Tyres/Alloy wheel for Ikon Flair 2003 Hi guys,
Have been reading this forum for sometime (Around a week) , especially the alloy wheel section. Now I have decided to go for a new set of tyres and if possible alloys also. But quite flabbergasted with the plethora of options available in front of me and some worrying points which if cleared would be of great help.
Now with Ikon, stock size is 170/75/R13. I am not sure if its a 5 or 5.5J wheel.
Clarification is needed here. While skimming through one of the threads I came across Bridgestone potenza link and this is what they say for Ikon Flair.
Size 195/60R13 84H
Pattern Name Bridgestone GIII
Model Name FORD Ikon Flair
I am a bit confused here as in, will I get all the stability and comfort that I am looking for with a stock 13 inch tyre and stock wheel/alloy? If this is the case then why everyone is going for 14" and 15". If the above suggestion from Bridgestone is good then I would proceed with the tyre change and may be after sometime get a 13 inch alloy to replace the stock wheels.
Does anyone know the wheel offset of Ford Ikon Flair 2003 model as this info will help me choosing the right set of alloys without affecting the suspension or handling.
Btw, came across one of the worst customer service I have seen ever. I am located at Bangalore and the place is sproket, Koramangala. I have been there to enquire and if possible buy a set of alloys (yes, even with all these doubts in my head) and the sales personnels behavior there was simply unacceptable. Thinking of going to Hottracks at Residency even if they are a bit far for me. The guy there (Anil, whose contact I got via teambhp, is much better compared to the sprocket one, any day, I spoke to him over phone and he was very courteous even giving out the entire list of HR alloys they had in stock with the prices. His quote is 15.5k (full price without any exchange offs) for any HR models.
