Sorry a noob question :) Just got my jazz 2009 on jan. I'm planning to do a rim and wheel upgrade next year. The problem is I'm new to these kind of stuffs. I was thinking of making my jazz's wheels look full and fat without having to lower the suspension. Which wheel size you guys recommends? 17" or 16"? i'm kinda confused with offset since i don't know the ideal size that fit to my jazz without scraping it.
Oh and btw, my stock wheel is 175/65/R15 - anyone knows the stock offset?
Since this has been bumped up thread.
What's the most aggresive fitment on the GE Jazz you have seen?
I've got some 14x7 +12
you can run 2inchs bigger then the biggest rim offered for you car. So a GD1/3 GL or a VTi can ran, max 16in, were my VTiS an run 17's. You also can't let them, legally, run more then an inch +/- the rolling diameter, or have them sit outside the bodywork overhang.
i'm running 15x7 Enkei's with a +40 offset and a set of 17x7's with a +38 offset.
I have run 195/55/R15 G3's and 195/50/R15's on the enkei's. That "odd" size tyre gave me a slightly higher, but still legal rolling diameter, giving me a lower RPM @ 100Km/H with a slight decrease in acceleration. they were also insanely responsive for a street tyre, compaired to the /50's and 2x the price.
anyway... Evan_P - you could run 17x7 +40mm offset rims and 215/45/r17's. Same max rollout as a current corolla i think.
Thanks for the reply, I thought this thread has been left out :)Quote:

I'm only concerned with the offset since I don't want to do anything else other than replacing the rims and tyres. do you think +38 offset will fit and don't scrub? i've seen plenty of alternative rims on ebay, but i haven't seen one with +40 (probably i missed it cos there's too many rims over there :p).
stock offset is +55Quote:

Hey guys I have a set of enkeis rp01 15x7 offset +45 will that fit my jazz perfectly?
Person I'm buying from said I need to put somethig in the inner centre of the rims for it to fit
On jazz is that correct? Is that spacers? Will it cost alot? And finally shld I just go to bob Jane to get it fitted? Rims comes without tyres as well. Sry for the many questions haha, I'm sucha noob
if you require spacers for the rims to clear the calipers then i don't recommend it, the hub is suppose to hold up the wheel not the studs, if you put spaces in there then it's the studs holding the wheels on and you may damage it also it is quite unsafe. you are better off waiting for a set of rims that has better fitment, if you find a right set you should be able to put it on without a problem, and make sure you get aftermarket wheel nuts aswell as the shape of oem ones don't hold aftermarket rims in properly.
So I should get a set with at least 50mm offset? I'm so confused about offset
don't think its spacers. I think it's hub rings. It's recommended to have them. Should cost around $50 for a set of 4. You can get them from most of the tyre shops.
Just mention to them that you want to get the hub rings as well, your car should be xx-56.1mm (56.1 is the inner diameter for 4x100 Honda, and the outer diameter depends on what rims do you have).
if it helps i run 15x7 offset +40 and it just clears the brakes at the front.Quote:

imo it'll be fine, they might rub on bumps n stuff tho. but i doubt itQuote:

My Jazz is lowered by like 2.5" inch at the moment.
it should fit fine, what tyre profile are you running/planning to run?
Will it clear the brakes? My current wheels are using spacers to clear the brakes, i dont feel safe using them (it came with the car)
I think my current tyres are 205/45/16. It scrubs when i hit a bump on a road, even worst when theres a full car.
Coilovers are on the way
it should definitely clear the brakes, i think the cutoff for 16x7s are +42, currently im running +40s and i'm clearing it by like 2mms.
you shouldn't be using spacers for daily runaround as the hub is suppose to hold the wheel on not the studs you are risking shedding one of them off.
i've ran 205/45/16s before and my car is lowered as well, it does rub on the rear but i try to keep rear passengers to a minimal but it gives the car a nice look as it fills the guard, if you run 205/40/16 then it won't rub (what i'm using atm) but it doesnt fill the guards and it gives a very very firm ride :(
I tried the 15 & 16" Rota GT3's (+40 & +38) today and they did not clear the brakes at all. Same with 16" Track-R's (+40)
The only ones that did fit was 16" circuit 10's (+38) which cleared the brakes by a lot but it scrubs so hard on the rears. Poor new tyres, gotta roll the guards tomorrow.
hmm rotas may have bad offset, were these 16x7s or 16x6.5 cos i've had trouble fitting sportivo wheels on which are 16x6.5 +42 had to slot in 5mm spacers.
They were all 7's. That unusual extra metal that sticks out of the caliper is what hits it. If you grind it off you can probably use more wheels.
Anyone rolled their rear guards before? I just realized nearly half of the wheel arch is the rear bumper....
It is generally the design of the wheel that will determine whether or not you'll clear the brakes, although most rims should unless they're really funky design. For the GD Jazz, when I rolled my guards I found that the triangular piece of plastic that holds in the bumper screw was the cause of most of my scrubbing, so I just filed that away and the scrubbing stopped, although I fulled rolled the guards to be safe.
^ which triangular piece? for the front or rear?
I rolled the rear guards today with a heat gun and mallet then cut a bit of the rear bumper, still scrubs with 2 people in the car :(
When i get my coilovers this week ill just raise it by an inch and keep it stiff. The stock suspensions are soft as....
205/50/16x7 +40 no rub on GE??
How low?
Get smaller profiles 205/40/16 and it shouldnt rub at bumps.
^ stock height
slightly off topic, but has anyone had problems with their CVT due to the larger wheels ?? My wife's VTI-S is in need on new tyres, and I thought it might be an opportunity to get some new rims at the same time....
having bigger wheels would affect the gear ratio, if you had 17" wheels you may find 1st gear might feel like 2nd etc etc. It will therefore also affect your acceleration/fuel economy and speedo. however if it's the same size as the original then it would be fine and you may even find an increase in fuel economy if the wheels are lighter :D
