Hi Guys,

I am new to Team BHP and would like to introduce myself.

I am Ashwin, from Bangalore and I run an electrical components manufacturing industry in Bangalore.

Well, I am here in team BHP only because i am interested in automobiles and would like to learn more about them.

Also, I have recently bought a Maruti 800. I would like to get the tires changed to 13", please advise me if fitting 13" tires will cause any trouble at all? I am ready to get the minor changes done - like raising the suspension and all that. Apart from that will there be any handling problem?

hey welcome to tbhp.
Yes the ride quality and handling will be affected by putting 13" wheels on the car.
raising the height by too much will make it harder to handle, better ot stiffen the suspension but then ride is comporomised so think about these factors.
Check with Psycho he has 13" on his 800.
