Hi guys, im actually taking note of picanto's stock rims from the back. I noticed that the stock rims seems to narrow or small for picanto's back.
May i ask if there are wider rims available to "even up" the appearance from the back? If yes, how do i read the numbers? and wad are the numbers recommended?
Sorry if i did not make myself clear with all the naming.

preferable
14inch rims shd be 5-5.5inch wide to go with 165/60R14 tyres
or 14inch rims shd be 5.5-6inch wide to go with 185/55R14 tyres
or 15inch rims shd be 6-6.5inch wide to go with 185/45R15 or195/45R15 tyres
or 16inch rims shd be 6-6.5inch wide to go with 195/40R16 tyres

if not wrong, FL vios is using 15 x 5.5.
if 175/50R15 fit 7inch width rims. you can force the fitment of tyre to rim
but it will highly overstretch the tyre inner reinforcement steel layers, may cause tyre malfunction or out of shape
