I currently have 17 wheels on my 95 WRX import but they look a bit on the small side so I am considering changing them for 18's.
I have heard a number of people say that 18's make the handling worse but wondered what people here reckon ? Also, any suggestions and pics of either gold or anthracite alloys on a dark blue classic would be great as unsure what to go for. Cheers El |
Elliot,
I am very cynical about the whole "adverse to handling" thing. If you are Colin McCrae then , yes, maybe you would see a difference. But as far as us mere mortals are concerned, I can't see a difference. I am also upgrading from 17" to 18", mainly because I want different wheels, but thought I'd go bigger anyway. I have no doubt someone will post to the contrary on here, but I don't buy it. Craig.:D |
I agree :D

Guys, I too am considering upgrading from 17" to 18", I have OZ super t at the moment, 17 x 205/40. When you go up to 18's, what are the changes? I mean does it go 18 x 225/35??? What do I need to be looking at and what offset should 18's be???
Mine's a v4 type R if it makes any difference! |
HOUSEQUAKE,
The offset will be the same, 48-53. As for tyre sizes, you will find a range of tyres will fit. Ask your supplier what they recommend size wise, price is also a factor. Craig.:D |
My 18 Prodrive wheels handle better than the 17 Oz wheels i had on there.
Tyre size on the classic should be 215/35/18 |
Housequake,
If you're selling your 17's I might be interested in buying them! Drop me an email...............!!! Steve |
Sho'nuff...will post some piccies!
