17inch rim, my advice is that it will look super swee =) Other than that, i tink FC surely suffer, unless your rims is lighter de.. can it be if the car is full load, lower down or on bumpy road...will the tires rub against the car at the wheel area? 17" is too big IMO..

actually wont de lar, cos if u r using 17" rim, than u need to change a thinner tyre profile so the total diameter of the ride is still similar to a 15"rim, with a thicker tyre profile, our door there got put the reccommended rim size with the tyre profile.. if u dun follow, think yr ODO reading will not be accurate by alot.. even if follow, also will differs a bit de... Full load or bumby roads and lowering i dun tink will hurt yr tyre or rim.. if its does, a 15 or 16 also will be hurt too.. so no worries about all this... U need to wori is if yr 17" rim is heavy, FC will suffer alot, yr ride will be more stable though... but if rim u wan to buy light weight de, cost a bomb, also the tyre that u get for a 17 will be super different from a 16 de, will cost like 30-40 more for a single tyre.. so tink abt it... anyway, our ride i tink 16 is good enuff.. if u can live with the looks, 15 is ok le =)

Fitting in a 17" is possible as one of our forumer is using it. If u are worried about the scratching your underside, the most put some coil stiffeners on your rear, should solve the problem. FC wise is confirm unfriendly, but looks wise is a

so far... main purpose of this M.R.T. is for all of us to sit down, enjoy kopi n chit chat... we dun wan it to be another tcss session wic will have so many small grouping here n there, looking at one car or new poison... no interaction at all... sitting in a kopi shop might be better coz there will be more interaction....well lit place.... can drink/eat n chat at ease.... till the last man leaves... but it maybe a good idea to proceed to our cars after the session for some poison sharing experience n tcss till the last car leaves...jus like last Sat for the few of us... after most of the group leaves.. agree? tks for the idea.. we look into improving for our next MRT .....

hi, I'm using 16" now, FC almost same with previous rim 15". Love this 16" when travel to Malaysia. Kia spec up to 16" using profile 205/45/16, if using 17" must be thinner than 45.
FC = same, comfort level = better than 15", stability = superb (180km/h still stable), bearing loading = not sure.
