16s or 17's

[Rick]

You need to go lower than 42 if the cars lowered tho don't you?

 

[Turkish]

38 is what most have gone for.

 

[haitch]

standard 172 mk2 offset is ET48.5, ET38 is good, iv had these with no rubbing etc & mine is lowered

If you put light weight 17's on (they weigh less than 15's) and a GOOD set of tyres. There is not much difference at all.

Most people put s**t tyres on 17's because of the cost involved.... There is more tyre on the road....

i went up from standard 16" 172 mk2 alloys to 17" o.z. superT's they looked good but felt like s==t, then i changed to 17" superleggera's which are nearly half the weight of the supperT's and less weight than the standards & they feel great!!! the moral of the story is if your gonna go up make sure there light weight!!!

I have 17inch buddy club P1's on mine, i have crap tyres though.

Don't forget, the tyres that come with the RSC are designed for the car...

you obviously 'cruise' then :clown:

 

[Turkish]

its cruize or crooze not cruise

17s for show 16s for go. a lightweight 16 will always be lighter than a lightweight 17 and then there's the tyres to consider too the 17s will be heavier.

Lol

yep, mk 2 ph 2 wheels are et48.5

i went to et37 superlegs and they really fill the arch better.

 

[bradfincham]

what about the OZ f1 cups ?? in 17s as no 16's left!!

so people are saying the superllegera in 17s wont be much diff to the standard 16's as i bet there lighter

 

[bradfincham]

car has tsw's with yoko's on at the moment and it handles very well, i would like to keep that much the same if i can, perhaps lower the car before long by 40mm etc if i get the 16's or 17's

 

[john.med]

had both 17s w/ very low profiles - alright
now have oem 16s - much better
simple as

 

[ant]

its obvious you want 17"s!

your £££££££ at the end of the day mate

 

[bradfincham]

no i really want 16's but there isnt about,
whats the pcd on a saxo as theres 2 sets of superleggeras on there at £250 a set ones with tyres as well

it has to be turinis or superleggeras really in 16's

Turinis all the way...................or you will regret it.....

 

[V1NNY]

Superleggera all the way, this could turn ugly lol

maybe.

but a 16" superleg is going to be lighter than a 17" superleg.

 

[MAXIBOY]
