Sorry bhai not into diesel engines and 4x4's between it's 2.2cc and about 110+ hp i think, not sure.

For torque yes it will be enough.
Also upgrades the brakes.
First check that front brakes are 22v, if they are then just get rear discs complete hubs and same setup proportional valve

Guys, please help me out!
I am confused between 14" & 15" wheels. Which one should I get?
In 14", we have 185-65-14 or 185-70-14 option. While in 15", a friend suggested 185-55-15 or 185-60-15 size.
My main priority is a comfortable & smooth ride. 15s look beautiful, but what if the ride becomes hard & stiff?

185/55R15 is a small profile. Total diameter is small. It's like 195/50, means aspect ratio is small resulting a uncomfortable ride.
If 15 then 185/60R15
And if you want 14 then 185/65R14.
I suggest 15. Tyres are cheap, easily available and you got many options.

Japane indus corolla

Wrong profile selection. Don't blame 15's
It's the most widely used size in these cars.

humayun.chughtai.7 (Humayun Azhar Chughtai) 2018-07-03 15:14:18 +0500 #51

That's why I am hesitating.

humayun.chughtai.7 (Humayun Azhar Chughtai) 2018-07-03 15:15:01 +0500 #52

But 15" is not an OEM size in this 7th gen corolla.

Hassan1991 (Electrical Engineer ) 2018-07-03 15:33:46 +0500 #53

Even 14's are not oem.
I have experience with different profiles like 195/45R16 (worse one) , 205/45R16, 195/55R15 (best one) , 185/60R15, 205/45R17 etc others are 13's.
If you don't believe me drive 185/65R14, 185/60R15 and 195/55R15. You will hardly feel differece between them.

Excellent effort.pretty clean engine u got how much u paid for it?u should go for multi flow condensor.

chbilalnasar (Ch.Bilal Nasar) 2018-07-03 15:41:36 +0500 #55

For comfortable and smooth ride go for 185-70-14

185-64-15 was what i used ?
Is it the wrong profile

Don't know about size, but greater the of tyre than stock greater the error in speedometer.

Hassan1991 (Electrical Engineer ) 2018-07-03 18:26:56 +0500 #58

Nope.
I used 185/60R15 no bumpy ride at all.

humayun.chughtai.7 (Humayun Azhar Chughtai) 2018-07-03 22:33:26 +0500 #59

I think I should go for 185-60-R15. Here is tire size comparison between 185 60 15 & 185 65 14

humayun.chughtai.7 (Humayun Azhar Chughtai) 2018-07-03 22:38:34 +0500 #60

Thanks a lot! I got the complete engine with each & everything for 104k.

As per the AC guy, installing a multi-flow condenser is not a good idea because the fitment won't be perfect and requires an alteration in high-pressure AC lines.

That's why I dropped the idea.

Did you face any fender rubbing? Or Tires rubbing on the lock to lock turn? How's the working of shock absorbers?
Do you have any pics of your ride with those 185-60-15 installed? I want to see the gap between tires & fenders.

Here is a little hint about what's going on these days.
