ST115 should be easy to get in that size....i dont think KU31 is available in that size in MY
 
i need the shop details as i am not familar with the roads. i am still trying to search for ku31 as my current setup is ku31 and i like it very much. if really cannot find den i will get st115. i need to know the price of st115. in sg it is selling at sgd95 ea. which means if jb price is way cheaper sae rm180 den i will go in and get. i know in batu pahat its going at rm168. but too far and time consuming. hoping to find a falken shop telephone number near the causeway to call and enquire to ask.

Still have ST115? I thought they stop production already or very old stocks?
KU31 is on going model, but you are using 165 width on a 6.5J rims. The tyres must be very stretched out.....

yeah ST115 is still available but ONLY in 165/50/15 and theyre made in indonesia now..

165/50/15 on 6.5 aint that bad... heres a pic of V8RS 165/50/15 on my rims (15x6.5) in my ex-kelisa

Thanks for the info on the ST115.
Actually the rims are too wide for the tyres. You can see from the picture, the rim protector of the tyres are further out or wider than the tyre thread pattern. Not helping the rims much too as the rim lips seems to be pitted and bruised. But cannot be helped as wider 175/50/R15 will hit the wheel arch.
 
yeah... the unfortunate part about using 165 is to be ready for kerb rash on the rims...especially those who has no mercy with them...like me :D

i have 2 friends who are using 165/50 on 7" width rims.. kerb rash are bare minimum coz theyre very careful when driving on the roads.


175/50 can clear.. just need the right offset and also advisable to use stiff suspension.. and rolled fenders.


EDIT: heres a pic of 165/50 on 7"...one of the friends i mentioned above and no..he doesnt run that low anymore...its slightly raised..... and the car is a daily :D

ku31 still ongoing ? i need to get them. i like them better than the st115 cos ku31 is wider than st115 based on 165 50 15. meaning the rim sides are cover so kerb rash wun kena rims that bad. i need contacts for shops closer to pelangi side or near causeway. haiz. batu pahat no more ku31 else i would nt mind going that shop cos i know how to go. but if going to other further in places that not close to causeway i might get lost.

So you rough rider ah?:biggrin:
Problem is betting bigger offset number for 15" rims. offset 38 is the norm. 40 maybe can find but that is 2mm difference only. My friend had also, some more not lowered but with stiff suspension. Still touch fender on heavy load.....
 
My offset 38 previously will kena fender aft i roll in fender. not such issues. now using kyb excel g gas shocks and comfort uncle spring so nv ever have this issue at all. rocks. but prob nw is tyres need change. botak liao
 
roll fender will help. If lowered may hit inner fender on heavy load, but then again yours are 165 only so lower sidewall compared to 175......
 
i intend to change rear tyres to 175 50 15. will kena the inner wall that is closer to the inside of the tyres when fixed in. i am not toking about the fender that is nearer to us when we stand in front of the rims. i am toking about the one that is inner and further away from us. hope you understand my question...

Ubderstand, is the inner fender, but your offset already 38 which pushes the tyre out. If still touch inner fender, then tyre overall diameter too big.
It will hit only on heavy load??
 
guys
