Superleggera + G9/Altis

[Polkadots]

Hi All,

 

Would like to check with you ppl if using the OZ Superleggera 15"x7" (Offset 37) will caused problem in time to come?? I intend to use 195/60/15" tyres with the above rim

 

Most other rim makes I saw come in 15"x6.5" (Offset 40-43).

 

Thanks!

15 inch looks too tiny for such a tall car like corolla altis..at least a 16 inch wld look good

Contemplated going for a 16" but my wife is worried it'll sacrifice the ride-comfort, noise-level and petrol consumption. Plus I am not too sure if using a 16" will void the warranty since it is not listed in the manual as recommended rim/tyre size.

 

Finally, would a 37 offset be ok on the car?

 

Thank!!

what's the stock rim offset?

[GDIzen]

Go for it as it looks 'SWEEEEEEEET'

[Kernel]

actually she hasn't gotten the car yet.....but soon....i am just doing some researches for her. I reckon the stock offset should be the same as that of the G9?

 

I see many G9s on the OZ Superleggera 15". Checking the web, the 15" apparently only comes in 37 offset. So i deduce it should be fine to use that same rim on the Altis?

 

Also, I dun see 16" OZ SL on the web. It seems the next upgrade after the 15" is the 17"..... http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbr...el=Superleggera

 

Thanks!

yup! it's sweet but it not my car....btw, I saw this altis on a 17"! we both agree it doesn't look nice anymore....a little on the "kua zhang" side....

 

16" is ideal but she is not keen...you know ladies....ride comfort and low noise level are top priorities...

[Soya]

me no toyota expert but think the G9 and Altis offsets shld be the same. btw, think most aftermarket rims in SG come in 40 offset. lower offsets usually for bigger rims to compensate for wider tyres.

[Kernel]

well, the oz sl has a 7" width. i think it can take 195 and 205 tyres, although most jap brand tyres I see are 195 for the 15"....only some conti brands have 205 for thw 15". i suppose the 37 offset is an adjustment for this 7" width....

 

just wanna check with bros who are using the 15" OZ SL 37 offset on their G9 if there's any problem so far. Thanks again!

hmm bro i dun tink it would void the warranty for using 16 inch...and for fuel consumption..if the set of rims u r getting is light...it wld be more fuel efficient compared to ur stock steel 15 inch rims

[Kardachia]

Altis stock 15" ? I thought only 14".

[Polkadots]

Yah...the Altis comes in 14" crap brand rim. hmm....suppose no bro here drives the G9 with the OZ SL 15"?
