Assalam-o-Alaikum Brothers

I am for the first time here trying to get advice from my brothers. I hope I will get a very good advice.

I have a Nissan sunny B-14 series. The car originally had a GA 14 engine (1400 cc) which has been replaced by a GA15E engine (1500 cc).

The recommended sizes of Rims for the car from manufacturers are 13" or 14" but I feel the car is vary low as it hits speed breakers and bumps. So I am thinking to raise it by using bigger rims/tires. Presently it has 13" rims/tires installed and I am thinking to install 15" tires. But I am not sure whether it will work well in the car or not.

Please suggest me either to install 14" or 15" tires. Since the engine is bigger now, I think that power is not an issue but I may be wrong. Secondly, will big wheels be hitting car's body on jumps/bumps or not.

I hope I will get great avice on it.

Thanks and Regards

Zia

Sir

Can you give the exact size like 185/65 R14 or what?

increasing height by bigger tyres will have many disadvantages like wrong speedo meter, poor handling, faster wear of suspension. Not recommended.

The recommended size for 14" tires in 175/75 R14 Sir.
I do not exactly remember for 13" rims.

I think u should stick to the suggested rim size, i.e. 14" max. What you can do is to raise your car by padding the springs. Although, in such case, your car will look a bit 'raised' when not loaded!
You can also look for harder yet standard in size springs. It will not affect your car's road clearance, but the ride will become a bit jumpy.
Now you decide.

check the power steering fluid, otherwise it is a power pump failure which is very common in civic. it costs around 3 thousand, the kabli one

The size you are running is fine for those rims. You can go with 185 to though. The taller your tyres are the more load the suspension will take given the pathetic quality of our roads. You can always counter that by adjusting your suspension set up but its not really worth all the effort. You should always stick to OEM sizes, maybe go one level above the recommended size, not more.
