That Fortuner looks a bit cheap!

Games Goblin · 6th March 2010, 13:00

will changing to such a size hamper the off road abilities of the Fortuner?

Yes. Torque will decrease considerably. However, these cars are rarely taken offroad.

also the lower profile of the tyre will damage the el cheapo looking alloys big time during an OTR.

And i guess this must be the first beat upgraded to alloys on the forum

Momo corse 14" alloys
Continental cec3 165/65
On the Chevrolet beat LS

You definitely need fatter tyres, buddy!

That Fortuner looks bad and cheap with those wheels, bad choice for a nice looking machine.

Rotate the wheels and see if the problem persists.

Welcome to TBHP.

I think this is first santro I have seen with 15 inchers and 45 profile.
Howaz the ride quality, pretty harsh/stiff, I suppose!!!

BTW, good design on wheels, goes perfectly well with the car.
