Fellas I want to go 18' but when i went to buy rims the guy advice me to go 20' and bling out in stead but i don't know because almeras have a cradle arm problem so I need to know what is the largest size to go with rims and what i can do to reinforce my cradle arms...

depending on your offset and width of the rim, you might need to roll the fenders

by the way, skinny 20's look like sheit. i say go wide with a nice deep offset.

20"s on almeras....yes it blings...but it also comes with trouble.... first to begin...all the extra weight can seriously affect performance of the engine. secondly, get ready to buy bushings and everything you're putting under strain. thirdly...20" tyres are $1,500 for ONE. if yuh have plebty paper...big up yuhself. if not...don't do it.

that also reminds me...... i went to maracas 4 times when i was back in trinidad for christmas. i must have seen at least 4 cars each time pulled over to the side of the road at the bottom of the hill with overheated brakes, the owners were all wondering what the hell is wrong with their cars.

when you step up to bigger/heavier rims, it is a must that you upgrade your brakes!

^^^ppl seem to forget that lil piece of info...more weight means it's harder to stop.

Advice? Don't dooo eeeeeeet!

Your choice but I personally believe if you want big rims put on ligh-weight on a car that can accomodate them with proper suspension and break upgrades. Rell kix when you see all them idiots in the Hilux on 22s and they grinning with drums or some tiny discs in the back dodging pot-hole.

lets say like 17" on an ad wagon brakes need to be upgraded bigger rotors

you have any idea the expense you gonna incure when you damage your bearings, ends, and shocks?

Are you upgrading your brake rotors to accomodate such a big rolling mass?

Uncle Ben business

makes no sense putting that size of wheel on an econobox

^pios and others summed it up correctly there

but at the end of the day it's your choice. :fadein:

adri 2nr · Postby **adri 2nr** » January 4th, 2008, 7:35 am

17's at max I think..16'S though looks nice on the car

broger53 · Postby **broger53** » April 3rd, 2008, 9:25 am

don't do it...you'll find yourself spending alot of unecessary money...the guys who said "no" know what they are talking about...

i have an almera and i thought of 18s but think of the roads in T&T...just not worth it

16's - 17's are safe homey. Any bigger and you'll have bigger problems. Don't let anyone trick you into buying 20's for bling. Salesmen say anything to sell their product. Be smart and save yourself a lot of money.
