Here's my MY99 car with 17" P1 wheels, with standard suspension:



Here's the same car with the same wheels, but on Prodrive suspenion:



Hope this helps

Cool

ScoobySnack, going to 18" shouldn't change overall diameter of the wheel, more alloy...less rubber.

Cheers SAman,

I have now got to grips with keeping the size and measurement of the wheel and tyre the same as before.

But apart from looking better(and being more nickable), what difference does the 18inch's make to the cars feel??

Thanks

Cool

Let's hijack this thread...

It's alot more solid through bends, it reacts quicker...BUT...you can feel every pebble, and you WILL need to upgrade your suspension (if the new 18" wheel and tire isn't as light or lighter than the stock one).

It's all worth it though, it looks the canines package.

Thnx!

They're Compomotive MO's in 18x18 ET50, with Toyo's in 215/35.

Close fit, and the tire is a bit narrow, but it works great!
