Ian - how about this set up - 40mm drop on coilovers (FK Highsport) and i am thinking of getting 17" but its so hard to find the right set off wheels
i been told et45 would be just right. what offset you recommend that wont need much/any body mods?


anyone know the offset of these? plus what you think of them :D

Did have the car lowered 60mm before with the 18's for a while, now it's back on the 40mm springs...

I have exactly the same arches and suspension as I had when I ran 16" wheels as I do now with my 18" wheels... The 18s have 35 profile tyres though :D

what 'mm' u recon? I live in Speed hump village tho, means i cant as much as Id like i guess.

Yeah but don't forget to lower it!

well was looking at 16" 195-45-16.

So i guess they should be ok as standard.

cheers guys ;)

I assume you want large wheels in which case you will need to modify the arches to increase clearance inside.

18s will fit but you need very small tyres and probably some suspension mods to reduce travel, and you won't remove contact completely.

17s are the better option but lowered the right amount to look OK they will still cause you problems.

Its not as simple as just bolting on the biggest wheels that will go on. You need bodywork and suspension alterations for it to come together. Otherwise it will look like an off roader.

dubs, 20;s in proper speak

i think smaller the better will soon be popular 3 inch wheels mate gget urs now and b a trend setter

18's

16's is probably a safer bet though and will look better depending on what sort of look you are after

17s - without it lowered.
