yet another <I>thinking about thinking about™</I> thread http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
What problems would I encounter if I wanted to put 18 inch wheels on the blackbeast? I've heard 18's really affect the handling quite badly. So, whats the score? |
If you've sorted the suspension the negative effect of the 18" wheel (weight) wouldn't be a problem.
THE problem is finding a wheel that fits, and suits your car/taste. The lovely Proxes are available in 215/35x18 (which is what I've got)...if you go to 225 I believe Prodrive states that the only tire that'll fit is the PZero. I've gone for 18"...I already had LedaB on the car, I haven't noticed any nasty sideeffects...yet. My scoob feels like a gocart. I believe Scoobysport has one of the better 18's for the scoob, one from Speedline IIRC light, and sturdy. /J |
Hi Markus,
I've been thinking about 18" ers for a while, but have not had much response here (except from SecretAgentMan - Cheers). I have decided to take the plunge and have ordered the Speedlines mentioned, with P-Zero 225/35 tyres. I've got a service coming up pretty soon and will be getting them to reset the geometry to the Prodrive settings (advice from Mike at Prodrive). As soon as I get them I'll try and post some pictures and can let you know about the handling etc. A word of advice though - make sure you shop around as you can get some good deals if you take a little time !!! E-mail me if you would like more info. Simon |
