Can anyone suggest what would be the best size to upgrade to, based more upon performance & handling, rather than styling?

Also what would be the best offsets for said options?

Thanks

17

 

Any particular reason, or just your preference?

 

Let it go m8

 

my 18's seem to grip the best for what i've had on the scoob (16's and 17's before) and that's running p-zero's

used p-zeros on all the tyre sizes and the 18's let go a bit quicker in the wet (more surface area on the wet tarmac?)

as for offset et53, tyre size 225/35/18. it's what the prodrive wheel pack comes with and i've had no problems with rubbing at all (on std height or with -35mm eibachs)

just get the offset right or it'll end in tears

 

Thanks guys, i think i will probably go for 17's, but thanks for the advice on the offset and tyre choice.

 

Don't forget to upgrade the suspension!

 

cheaper tyres

 

The suspension has already been done, thats another reason to go for the 17's

 

Good point, lol

 

but I have 18s on mine

 

why do you need to upgrade the suspension and does that apply to 17"?

Ray, if you want to improve handling then obviously more performance-oriented suspension will help. Yes, that applies to 17s as well! Good tyres, well balanced suspension and careful geometry set-up will transform the car from standard.

 

Theres nothing wrong with them at all

I just have a perfectly normal unhealthy aversion towards them,but the nipper across the road from me is delighted with his on his Nova,as is my bosses wife with hers on her Golf Diesel

 

How bout 19's.....

 

gotta say it, the super legs look better in my opinion, but then again it's your car so you can obviously do what you want with it
have you put different colour mudflaps on in the 2nd pic or are they just in the light in the 2nd pic?

 

lol
