Is it not about 330mm IIRC.

Ta mate

 

[Austin-182]

600mm

 

[rich_1989]

600mm

Around 370mm IIRC.

Haha you could be mistaken for a bus its that big. Think it is more the 370 though mate its not 330

Ph1 is 380mm.

 

[rich_1989]

so is a 300mm wheel really small or is it fine for a daily drive?

I use a 330 omp I think, torque steer makes it a little bit harder to hold onto under hard acceleration though.

300mm is perfect, you won't regret it.

 

[Gally]

IIRC this is smaller...

I found that even dropping down to a 350mm wheel there was a noticable difference. It's not all about the outside diameter - the thickness of the rim itself makes a big difference too.

I went to 350mm after driving an Audi A3 sport with that size wheel and thinking how much better it was to use.

does everyone on here fit harnesses before fitting a non-airbag wheel?

I haven't. My logic is cars didn't used to have airbags and they didn't have crumple zones etc back then either.

It's just for reassurance though, I'd rather have one :rasp:

^^^^^^ true, not like when you were young and had 106s n shiz with no airbags we all drove around at 18 mph otherwise we would instantly die!
