Upgrading tires & wheels on my 2007 City. Need advice from pakwheelers

[muhammadroshaanahmad]

Hi all.

I have the 2007 City i-dsi. It came with 13 inch steel wheels from factory & it's still got them. I'm planning to upgrade from steel wheels to alloy wheels. I have the following concerns,

1. Should I get the same 13 inch alloy wheel with the same tire size or get a bigger wheel like 14 or 15
   inch and reduce tire profile?
2. What effects will changing tire profile give?
3. Should I get a staggered setup? (have wider tires at the back compared to front ones)
4. What effects will I get if I only get wider wheels and tires and not change other sizes?
5. What effects will I get if I get new tires and wheels which are more in diameter as compared to the
   current setup?

I might also upgrade my brakes, a bigger disk & caliper, if I get bigger wheels and get space for bigger disks to fit in. What would you suggest about this?

Thanks

if looks are the concern
dont cross 14" and 185 width
you would compromise ride quality / fuel consumtion / suspension otherwise

its a underpower car
you really dont need bigger brakes. if its skidding, problem is elsewhere. like in my case, front rotors needed change.

Looks are not a concern. I want to get alloy wheels only if they'll have positive effects on it's drive. Honestly I have never drag raced it with any other car but I think it's power is just fine. I get it upto 120 140 almost daily. Actually, I do more highway driving than city driving. About the brakes, I had the front roters and pads changed at 260,000 Bought new ones from Honda and they work fine. I only face problems braking when the tires and disks get really warm during agressive driving. I just want to improve it's road grip and all with wheels and tires. Thanks.

Bigger rims and bigger tires means higher fuel consumption and harder suspension.
If grip is your only concern, get road gripping tires, there are different kinds of tires, get the ones with more grip, it too will increase fuel consumption but only slightly.
Alloys if original, are a good option, else no to chinese ones

Which ones will you recommend? I mean among the orignal ones.

I am not big no these so i won't know which brand to go for, i would say keep the rims, and get a slightly wider tire,say 10 mm more should give you the desired grip along with no compromise on anything else
