from 14" you want to change to 18"??? :stoned:
You must be kidding right? Not April Fool right?

You wont be able to fit it in at all. Changing to 16" is already a lot, yet to say 18".
Don't over do it man. What's the point to change to 18"? :stoned:

 

[szekeiemme]

got people done it already, unless u change ur wheel hub, u wont be able to fit 5 hole pcd 114 rims

 

[peeche]

your car parts will suffer.. eg: arms, suspension, steering rack, engine and even your gb.

 

[DanzEterna]

ah beng in the making....:hmmmm:

 

[peeche]

later complaint car no power.. braking power not good etc..

 

[ken yeang]

Surely can, even with 20" rim.

But don't drive thru road humps, and definitely cannot steer the front wheel.
The car will oso look like matchbox toy.

bhp + 30 .. XD

 

[123]

cannot brake

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Drives a myvi but can afford 18" tyres. :hmmmm2: Why not mod better cars?
not recommended.

Max go for 16" but you will regret. FC wise surely affected. 15" is good enough unless u can afford lightweight rims.

i already put 17" wheel inside my wife 1.5se..
6 month later got 'krek krek krek' sound when make a full-turn..

Yup, firstly, standard Myxi only 4 lugs, means you got to change or convert to 5 lugs to fit 5 x 114.3.
Offset 42 should not be a problem but what size tyres and series can you fit for 18".
From original tyre size of 175/65R14, you can fit 205/45R16, 205/40R17, smallest 18" is 215/35R18 which is 4.22% bigger in diameter alaready. Tyre choice will be very, very little, and will be very, very expensive.

What have we come to these days. Such a small city econo car wants to put such huge wheels!

Myvi just use maximum 15' lah, that's the best size to improve your grip and handling without sacrificing many other things. Even if you use 16', tire is already very thin 205/45 which is just over 9 cm sidewall height. So your ride comfort will suffer a lot, like riding a tuk-tuk bajaj! With 15', you can still get 7' wide rims so can use 205/50 tires which is 3 cm wider than std already but yet still have >10cm tire sidewall height so still comfortable and still maintain about the same overall diameter. The overall package will also still be light enough for your small econo engine, and you don't need to bust your wallet to find lightweight rims (can still go for normal fake Taiwan rims, no need to get ultralight expensive forged original Japanese rims).

Wait until you have a rather big sedan with over 200HP then can start thinking of using 18' rims! Even me driving such sedan only use 17'!

There was a Wira in Miri riding on 18".. then the guy wasnt satisfied and changed it to 22".. not sure what happened next but i heard when he do full turn the car will jack up on one side.

Already sound stupid enough not even needing to see how the car looks like. Spend on something better instead :stupid: trying to get into the Guiness Book of Records or what ? :hmmmm2:

honestly, the car looks really good.. he made it look like those DUB cars.. for entering competition one.. hahaha but that car cannot be driven on daily basis.. only competition uses..

Well, there are people who goes for performance and there are also for looks. Yup, 15" already have performance size tyres, a balance of comfort and handling. Going 16" with 45 series can still be acceptable. Going 40 series in 17" will be pain in the butts, and 35 series on 18"??

Wira, if not mistaken still have more wheel arch space. 22"? well, he could raise the suspension, use ultra, ultra low profile 15 series tyres (Yes, there is such a series), offset his wheel out of the wheel arch...

Then what for, keep at home only.....:hmmmm:

 

[dyii95]

Yeah.. for showing off when there's competition.. his suspension is those solid ones that cant even compress a little bit.. he adjust the camber to fit the rims inside the arches..

Well that's the thing, IMHO going for performance and looks should be together, not trade-off each other. Form has to follow function first. Looks are also so subjective and superficial. IMHO cars that uses too big rims are actually damn ugly anyway cause they look out of proportion with the body size already! Not to mention the puny size brakes which become more obvious and gaping when using such big rims. IMHO a Myvi with 15' looks way2 much better than those with 17', and cannot imagine how ugly & stupid an 18' will look on it!

As for comfort, well people have different level of comfort/tolerance. Some can tolerate more, some not so. I personally would not go below 10cm sidewall height cause I had used before a 195/50 (9.75cm sidewall) for several years and just had enough of it and will never go to that level again. Initially might seems not so bad since the tires were still in new condition and hence softer, but starting on the 2-3rd yrs they became more uncomfortable. So I think 10cm sidewall is about the borderline, unless tire technology can improve more and more and defy the laws of physics to make thin tires but still comfortable.

Currently using 205/45 tires and I'm regretting it as the road is really bumpy. Thought of changing to 50s but that would throw off the speedometer reading.. Guess its either new rims or just bear with it..
