Wheels and tires are two parts that can not be separated. In the world of car modifications, wheel and tire size is very influential on the appearance of a car. But outside of that, keep in mind, too large size of both greatly affect the comfort factor while driving. Therefore, when changing wheels and tires can not be arbitrary, there are many things which should be noted that there are no regrets in the future when it was put on a favorite ride.
Combination Velg Size And Tires
Recommendations from the car manufacturers can change a car wheel size without reducing the performance of the engine and the driving comfort is the maximum level 2 (+ 2) of the standard size can be from the factory. But in the world of car modification can change the size up to 4 levels peleknya (+4) over the standard wheel size without the need to make changes to the car body.
Of course change the size of wheels with a larger (up-size) should be followed by the turn of the right tire size so it will not happen gesrot symptoms or fixed to the body in the car or the car fender.
For example, Honda New City has a standard 15-inch alloy wheels, the recommendations of the manufacturer for a good comfort is replaced by 17-inch alloy wheels combined measure of thick tire size 40, and if the rim sizes are considered large, still less than the maximum change of wheels is to measure 19 inches and the combined size of the thin-profile tires, like the size of a thick 35. Standard combination of wheel sizes and tires as above apply also to the car type or hatch back sedan like Yaris or Jazz.
Effect Changing Tire and rim size
Many people ask, whether there is influence or effect if it has changed the wheel and tire size? The benefits of making changes and tire rim size became larger in response to handling these is the better car when changing direction or maneuver, because the tire contact area with the road surface becomes wider, making the tire traction be larger, otherwise the car looks too become more catchy.
But the weakness of the up-size wheels and tires replaced with a thinner profile and the width will slightly reduce the damping force cars to the road surface is uneven and a bit more noisy (road noise) due to the tire surface contact with the road is growing.
This is not an absolute effect on any existing car but can be a reference and guide for changing the size of the larger wheels safely. In order for wheels and tires properly installed and correctly without any problems, then the combination of the wide rim tire size should be appropriate. From the example above, the results from the combination with a wide rim tire size is BASED on the shape of the tire that can fit to protect the rim lip after an up-size and to avoid the tire hit the fender when the steered wheel.
