coz 225 X17X45 might be thicker than 225X16X45. depend on brand of tires too

When you upgrade to 17 inch, the most common tyre used will be 215/45/R17. This increases the overall diameter to about 2cm.

Hmm didnt know that. even with the 225/45ZR16, its still not grippy enough lol. will a 215/45ZR17 be the same or worse?

coupe's handling rely a lot to the tyre u use... and suspension... am running on 215/45/17... feels ok... actually looking for 225/40/17 but not in production... 215/40/17 will make it look small... someone here used that size b4... cannot remember who....

good to have u here la... u liven up the place... been like a ghost forum for a while...

Balmung, when i first drive the coupe, prob is on handling, not sure if u feel the same.
Lots can be done to improve it, and am happy now. Lots of ppl still on 16" and can drive faster than anyone else!
Skills that matter \:D/
