Hi everyone, Anyone can share / advice on changing the factory fitted R18 to R19 or R20 dimension??I don't feel safe with R18 when exceeding 180 -200KM/H ride; feel unstable!!!Many Thanks
 
Might not be because of your rim size. Balancing? What do u mean by unstable. People have done more than 200km/h on 16inch rims and feel normal :)
 
when i was still on 17", i went all the way passed 200 and still feel stable leh. But of course bodyroll is terrible with 17".

Now i am on 20" and i am more confident with cornering with much less bodyroll. But the downside is the car feel heavy when you move from standstill although i am using forged rims. For the plus, the car looks much better with 20" rims :top:
 
Hi bro...
What you mean not stable...
Almost our friends here upgrade rim from standard to over size...
So far no complain...
Mine from 16 to 17 BBS RC with H&R Sport spring n Boge Automatic..
Tested go abit over 200km/h huhi...
So smooth n stable hehe...
But my normal speed on hwy is 118 auto cruise so that no AES n speed trap haha..
Alignment Balancing is very important...
