Hello!
I´m waiting for my i10 to be delivered in november. It comes shipped and equipped with 165/60 R14 tires on alloy wheels with ET -46. I´m not too excited by the looks of these wheels, so I wonder if any of you have equipped your i10:s with broader tires, for example 195/45 R15 or 195/40 R16 (or wider...)? If you have done something like this on your i10 - please comment on eventual loss of comfort, fuel consumption, problem to fit etc. Broader tires should be possible to use since there is a bunch of smaller Toyota Aygos and its Peugeot/Citroen cousins running around town with 16" and even 17 "... we must take on that fight... :)

I would be very happy if anyone could post photos or links on this matter!

Best regards from Sweden,

Lars Sjöberg (former Santa Fe 2.4 GLS 4wd owner)

Hi!

I fitted 16 inch (Dotz Daytona) wheels on my I10, no problem. 195/40 tyres. Even lowered the car with a kit from H&R, 35mm and added spacers 30mm. Will try to post some pictures soon.

Excellent!

Looking forward to those pictures! Sent you a PM by the way. Tough times right now waiting for my i10... since I sold my Santa Fe I (most temporary) drive a -85 VW Jetta. Price: 400 Euro...

OK, Jesper, please post some pictures!

Just to give you all an idea of how good it really could look on a similar size car I post these pictures of a Toyota Aygo and a Peugeot:








Crazy picture of a "cool" i10, but look at the rims:






Take care (and photos...)
