Dont do it!!

 

[rae1]

any pics lads?what about 17s?

 

[Middo]

dont get people who buy a performance car and want to stick it on big rims which will destroy handling and reduce acceleration! 15s are where its at

17s are ok, however still too big imo.

 

[rae1]

Calm down dear.lol.I was just wondering what they would look like.

 

[Middo]

s**t :approve:

 

[kully]

i think they'd look pretty .








poo as performance is concerned though

 

[Middo]

there was a guy who posted pics a while ago and they just looked stupidly big and didnt really suit the car, 17s are the max imo.

 

[rae1]

Can you still lower it with 17s?

 

[ChrisCurr]

Here's some 17"s

I agree they look a little big, but they've improved the handling IMO. Maybe due to the offset mind you.

16's are probably the best way to go with 45 profile tyres on.

 

[rae1]

Thanks.Looks smart.Can you lower it??

 

[Christopher]

16" maximum

 

[rae1]

16" maximum

What u meen?16s is the biggest you can have if u want to have it dropped?

 

[kully]

no he means 16's are probably the best all round wheel size to have

 

[ChrisCurr]

I've dropped-30mm on Koni springs with 17's no rubbing, no problem.

16's as the car (182) was designed for them.

Big wheels are out.

Most folk i know have seen sence and switched to a smaller size.
