Is it true that we can install R14 Rims as for the maximum RIM size for alto? This is what I heard from other guys here in my area, but I haven't seen anything yet with a R14

Here are some pics from my state.

Ohh.... so this one has R14 set up? very nice. I would like to do that but if I do so, my regret that I purchased two new tires, it might go to waste. Plus, prices of slim tire (not sure what it is really called) is not that cheap.

I really how it looks, and the additional floor road clearance is a plus for me.

You can sell those to tyre dealer.

Its 185/50 R14. Ground Clearance increased but even with 2 people on car,it may scrap the fender at times.

Yes tyres will surely rub the fenders.even when single person in car it will make loud thrrrr sound when will go over the speed breakers and uneven roads.
I will never recommend 14 inchers for Alto.

 

[esukoto]

That is also my fear, unless suspension is adjusted little more higher that would not be an issue. But height adjustment is not that easy to do, so I guess R13 is the best.

R13 will also scrap some times.

Hi guys my car is due for service. Crossed 40000 kms on ODO.
Want suggestions from experts about what should be the estimated cost of the various jobs included in full service. What should be my priorities for various brands to purchase oils and other parts for replacement?

 

[Sam Dinkar]

Lakkhi, dont bother too much and just ask the service centre guy to perform all the jobs scheduled at 40000 km as per the service book. The F8D is a tough engine - dont waste your money on expensive oils; just put the OEM oil.

Needless to say, be with your car while it is being serviced.

p.s.: Good to see this thread picking up!
