Congratulations nkonamme. The car is a stunner. Love it in this colour. Its total paisa vasool in this segment.

What? Why 18"?

Its not even close to the PCD. I doubt if you can even change it 17". You may have to get a conveter kit.

@avindu i have seen few sx4 with 18inch rims,just google out.

 

[freakdude]

18" is surely possible in those wheel wells. I too have seen a couple. But the profile you go for in tires would be around 45 and it makes the ride quality quite harsh. Try 17" alloys with 55" profile tires.

@freakdude thanks for the suggestion.But i cant have upgrade anytime soon.Dad wants stock jk tyres to wear out.i think it will last for atleast 40,000 to 45,000km.

Stock JKs are crap to say the least. A very close friend of mine has a petrol SX4 done around 44K on the same stock JKs. High on noise and low on grip. But yes you gotta give JKs credit for one thing, they are solid and can take a lot of beating. So if roads in your area area are not so good then it's wise to wear out JKs first.

However, if you plan to switch, as a lesser costly alternative you can try bridgestones.

@freakdude roads in my place are horrible.highway is full of potholes and hardly we can find road

Stay with 17" , 18" will affect handling marginally.

@surfer how can i improve low speed ride quality?sx4 suspension is super stiff,so bit bouncy ride at low speeds
