I have the Palio/Siena 178 model. The car currently has the 14 inch 98PCD 5J rims on. It runs on Michelin 175 65R14 Energy Savers. Brilliant tyres and it goes more than the distance.
I am now investigating the possibility of changing the rims, but as close to the OEM specifications as possible... Peter Pickup swayed me in that direction some time ago... and thank you for that.
So, I have studied tyre width, pcd's, circumverances, etc. I was thinking of getting a steel rim, 14 inch 98PCD 6.5j (or 6j) which would easily take a 195 65 R14.
My theory is that the extra width with give more stability and tyre noise reduction and will also not interfere with the speedo.
Can anyone advise if this is ok to do? And I off the mark here?
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Hugo
