ive had all sizes and decided to go back to 16's again. the 17's slowed down to much, used loads more fuel and made the ride awful. | |

I first ran 15's with 60mm, then got 17's. Did all the arch work etc but the ride was AWFULL and without a kit was a mile off the floor. I just bought Spax RSX coilover kit, lowered the front 85mm and the rear 70mm. Sold my 17's and bought some new 16's with 195/40 rubber (they are VIRTUALLY the same rolling radius as 15's with 45 rubber) so now my car is on the deck and the tyres are still in the arches (completely on the rear) so the rims look PLENTY big enough. I'd say this is the best option (without a kit). Its cost me a lot of money, going from rim to rim and suspension kit to kit but EVENTUALLY ive got it spot on. 16's all the way for me. :thumbs: | |
