@Nilesh, with swift, you get only 14inch rims/alloys as OE. If you seem to have 15 inch 'steel rims' where was it sourced from? Please verify that. If you are firm about reverting to OE size, do it. Get a swift steel rim for max 1.5k for the set of 5 wheels. Put 165/80R14 on and your problem must be solved. 

@Vipul, what exactly do you want to do? Obviously you have to buy yourself a set of 4 or 5 alloy wheels and change the tyres to match the rims. Keep in mind that if you increase the diameter of the tyre, you have to reduce the side profile of the tyre to keep the overall diameter correct, to avoid any problems with the car.

Around 32 psi in the front and 30psi for the rear would suffice. Check the tire pressure chart on the driver side door or door sill.

Hi,

I am having Ford Escort with 175/80 R13 Tyres, i need to change all four tyres. since this is stopped i am thinking to go for 195/60 R15. My question is can i upgrade this car from 13Inch RIM to 15 Inch Alloy wheel. If Possible can please tell me what and all i need to check before purchasing 15 Inch Alloy Wheel.

Thanks,

Pradeep

195/60R15 is an ideal upgrade taking the overall wheel diameter into consideration. You can go for a good branded alloy and tyre brand according to your requirement and budget. Any specific question?
