18" Rims for Cerato

Just wanna to know if 18" Rims with 225/45 Tires can fit on Cerato ? any one install it before ? all recommendation welcome.

18" bro... i would think twice.. at 17" already like hmmm... at 18.. it may take forever to get up to speed.. unless..>2.0l maybe..
my 2 cents

Dun think it's a good idea... Bigger wheels = higher fuel consumption.

dosent matter for the higher fuel consumption, i found 18" rims and really like it but the saler refuse to return it if it will not fit on my cerato.
may be will think again and will look for 17"

Hi bro, cannot use 225/45 for 18". U need to use 215/40. Then its ok

Notice with Many Thanks oceanliau
what about 17" what is the Maximam tire i could use to my Forte

Hi, for 17", should use same as stock. 215/45. Cannot change the profile too much, if not your speedometer will not be accurate.

This is very good info by oceanliau... uppz for you.

Bros, can anyone pse enlighten the pros n cons of bigger rims?

It depends ur driving 1.6 or 2.0. Not recommended for 1.6 litre with 18 inch wheel install due to reduce of Torgue and increase FC. 2.0 will be more suitable but there is disadvantages. Forte original camber setting is 1.5, when u install 18 inch, u gotta somehow think of a way to change the camber setting, but i noticed, rear camber is unable to do setting on camber. 18 inch is recommended for those who seldom use the car or just wanna make the whole car look nicer. 225/40/18 is the best tyre size for Forte, but of course need to avoid some lubang (holes). The thicker tyre u use, will end up more air (Quantity of air = weight when rolling). But im planning to ins 18/19 inch for my 2/0 forte. i wan it looks superb.

Lower springs with 17 inch chrome rims also nice PLus full body kit... but its damn poisonous I must forewarned you.

Bigger rims adv -
1. Sporty n nice.
2. Stable?
3. Comfort?

Disadv -
1. Higher fc.
2. Lesser car power.
Pse add on

Advantages
1. Sporty n nice
2. Safety
3. Mileage reduced (not important)

Disadvantages
1. Higher FC
2. Lesser power
3. More expensive
4. Speedo meter will not be accurate due to wheel diameter increased

Singaporeans can fix with bigger wheel reason is road condition are good and dont have high way road.

Malaysian suggested not or depends on individual, road condition sucks and mostly highway will cause change tyre frequently. :DDDDDDD

most importantly.. Thread starter is not from our region...

The road condition is not applicable ....^_^
other factors.

As long as u like it! They are ignorable causes

Ano,

the Street Condition is too bad in our country, its damaged tyres and the suspinsion system, i think 17'' & 18" will damage the car.
am so disapointing and may change them to 15 " or 16" maximam

Hahaha!! Middle east rite bro mosabnet?? :-)

Bros no need worry about fuel consumption for him!! Cheap there!! Hehehe!! :-) Or so I heard!! :-)

Is it true bro mosabnet?? :-)

Is it true bro mosabnet?? :-)

the Gasolain Price become expansive after the invasion of USA in 2003 its around 0.37 $ USD for one liter, but before 2003 it was really cheap about 0.02 USD for one Liter.
Price get dublcate 20 time !!!

Still cheap bro!! :-)

how much is the Price in SG ??

Im afraid the petrol prices in SG will scare you...

For Octane 98 - Its now $1.930 SGD per litre

Which is $1.38 USD.

Welcome to Singapore, where Cars are expensive and Car maintenance are exorbitantly high!

Hahaha!! Yeah man!! Hahaha!! :-)

We would be jumping for joy if we could even get like $0.50 USD per litre!! :-)

But then again, if the prices here drop till $0.50 USD per litre, I will be very worried!! Hahahaha!! :-)

Something must be wrong....something big must be happening....maybe end of the world..... ?? :-)

Having been to Middle East before, I can safely say that water is more expensive than petrol there.

Cars are not expensive, as compared with Myanmar, or even Malaysia.......

Maintenance is actually quite reasonable.

Petrol prices, not the highest in the world.....

Well, what Kapitan says is also true..... :-)

many who have not travelled extensively would say that our cars are expensive, but few do actually know that imported cars in Malaysia are selling at a higher price.... in Myanmar, an old 20 year old Toyota station wagon is selling for US$20,000.

Yeah I know. :-)

But you shouldnt use Msia as an example. Cos for many sporeans, they will not get it at first. Cos, to them, cars in msia is still cheaper cos most of them will do the exchange rate thing!! :-)

Like petrol is always cheap in msia cos after conversion, it IS cheaper than spore. :-)

Quite true too. Maintenance costs in Europe is much higher, well at least in France... We can get much cheaper servicing in Singapore and some spare parts are also cheaper, especially for Asian makes.

But even if you convert, I think the more expensive cars in msia are still more expensive than spore. :-)

yeah..high end cars in Malaysia is much more expensive then sg...
but for us (me at least) sg usage cost is definitely higher..

Usage?? Not necessarily. Depends also on where you live and where you work. :-)

If you work far from home and travel a lot for work, then paying toll will be a killer. Can come up to more than RM$10 a day I am very sure. :-)

Parking depends. If you park in those open air makeshift carparks, then I think quite alrite. If I am not mistaken, about RM$5-8 for the whole day. But think if you go out and come back in again, have to pay same amount.

They also save on personal carpark. Meaning at night, at home, they dun need to pay for parking. :-)

Guess cos so many around, servicing of car could be cheaper too. :-)

maybe so for city / town area.. yeah..
i am too used to get by parking here and there (maybe for the places i go lah..)heee.
locally a morning trip to town ill be paying for the same amount of ERP also mah.. (CTE is a killer + town) in out..?
Toll is a killer of course... but our mscp charges no cheap too..lo.. haaa..

Yeah!! :-)

Think we OT quite a bit!! Hahahaha!! :-)

So 18"......

Question.......if we change to 18" but change tyre to super low profile tyres, can keep the overall size the same?? If kept the same, will it be the same?? Or FC and all will change?? :-)

think if the overall wheel circumference remains, torque and FC should be same too, but ride comfort and handling will different by aloooot.. personally i think our stock is very bumpy already if road surface not too good..

I agree bro. Especially driving in msia. :-)

But if in spore, should be ok with the super low profile tyres. :-)

Just asking cos some ppl wanna change to 18" rims cos wanna look nice. But then dun wanna compromise their torque and FC. So I could only think of that possibility.

Not sure if its really workable or not. Hahaha!! Cos I dunno about the sizes and all. :-)
