182 Back on 16's

[Wirral 182]

After 2 & a half years on 17's, I decided to go back on std 16's. Sourced the wheels from various members on here (you know who you are), and then refurbed them in black during the week. Had new tires fitted yesterday and these are the results.

I'd be interested too. I bought my car with 17's on and I think it would benefit from 16's, the steering sometimes doesnt feel right, but wanted to fix some other suspension issues before putting it down to the wheels.

Took it for a blast earlier, feels a bit looser when cornering, if you know what I mean, but it looks like its sitting higher now.

It's currently on 40mm apex springs. But i'd like to slam it on coilovers when I have more funds available.

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I will not be going to FCS as I am back off to the states in a couple of weeks for another work contract on the cruise liners. So she's gonna be parked up on the drive for the next 6 months:dapprove:
