OK. I'm thinking of a new set of wheels and possibly going for 18's:D:D

i have a UK car on standard suspension so will rubbing be a problem:confused: and what is the best tyre size to go for:confused: I've read a few peeps seem to have gone for 215/35/18??

Finally, i might want to upgrade to four pots in the future so they would need to fit over them.

I am qute keen on technomagnesia detriot jobbies in gold, how do you think they'd look on my car?

Cheers guys:D:D

Oh, forgot to ask, what will the ride be like going from 17's to 18's??? Will it be much harsher or not much in it?

Any experience appreciated;)

went from 16's to 18's and the ride was only slightly harsher, felt a more responsive set up as well

Ricco, speak to Infinity (Martin) as he had 18" Diablos on his MY00. Ride seems OK and handling wise only a little more tramlining than on your 17's so ask him to take you for a run (in his SLOW CAR:D:D:D)

Mail me if you need his mobile number or phone me if you still have my home number:)

I was going to get the detroits but they are no longer imported into this country. In the end I went for OZ Superleggara 18"s running 215/35/18 which dont rub on my car which has Eibach springs on it. Went from the standard 16"s to the 18"s and the ride has not got any worse. Have a look here for some pics.

A mate of mine has got a y reg classic sti6 He has just changed from 16" to 19"rims yes i did say 19" and he has standard suspension and it only rubs with 2 adults in the front and 2 adults in the back when going around corners quickly

ive got wheelmania vortex in 18" i dont find it rubs with the standard set up however the wheels et is 48 which will definatly rub if u lower the car.....apart from that it looks sweet as can be;)

hope that was useful best bet is to go for et50 to et55 no rubbing no problems:)

IIRC a number of people run Toyos, P-Zeros etc with no rubbing of the arches but problems start if they change to Eagle F-1's in the same size. This tyre seems to have a different shoulder profile which causes rubbing in 18" therefore these might best be avoided despite being a good tyre.
