Need suggestion for vitz 1.3L 1300cc tires and rims

[inara72]

Hi Pakwheelers ,Mashallah by the grace of Allah i bought a 1300cc Vitz 2007 model
the first problem i faced is its low ground clearance ,it hits the bumps so i need to raise it
i don't want to put spacers so what should be the ideal rims and tire sizes
it should be close to the original and does not impact the fuel economy and handling of the car
your suggestions are most welcome
Thank you

11.50 brother , its 2007 FL but 2008 shape ,ISB number

i would stick to stock size rims and tyres to keep economy at peak
and place medium size spacers above rear shocks

add big tyres and rims will raise car, will raise fuel consumption and give u wrong speedo reading as well

You are right bro, the spacer will do the job, but after compromising the comfort, and in long run damaging your suspensions
i will suggest that go for 15 with 195-55-R15 or 185-R15 with light weight wheels( Branded)
I am currently using the 195-55-R15 on 2007 vitz, and its working perfectly fine,with no compromise on fuel average.
as per manual they are also suggesting two sizes for vitz.

Recommended size is 185R14 I think
But like the statement @uashah007 I'm also using 195-60-R15 for 2 years now in 2008 Vitz and I'm happy car doesn't hit speed breakers.
Spacer will make car ugly and in the long run will be damaging

Bro my car is doing 13 KM per liter within the city, as traffic condition is extremely bad here in Peshawar. I am quite happy with it

Yes sir, if using spacers, otherwise every car breaker(Speed breaker) will be kissing the car with even three persons( two front and one back)...

and how does the above effect vitz fuel consumption and handling/performance
one of my friend suggesting spacer and other one is saying that putting 15" rim and 185/60 or 185/65 will decrease vitz handling and comfort.any suggestion ? . personal experiences are welcome

Tires Yokohama A drive or Michelin
Lenso or some Japanese brand
Bro if you are in Peshawar, do visit Shoba bazaar ( Swabi tires) for used light weight rims.
