18" or 19"

What tyres so it dont rub?

Someone?

In 18", the Prodrive PFF7s are probably your best bet. Light, strong, easy to clean and look good. There are replicas out there, but not sure of the quality.

Stick to 225/40x18 or 225/35x19. There aren't the same issue with rubbing that there were with the classics - Prodrive ensured that basic design was capable of accomodating usefule tyre sizes without problems.

Thank you for that input so i am pretty safe going for 19" then they should fit over the Brembos ok?

What about the offset? What should i be looking at there some say anything between 40 to 55?

Any ideas?

Craig

Craig,

not. Not all 19s will clear the Brembo calipers, as it depends a lot on the design of the spokes. There's a thread here that lists all the wheel known to clear the Brembo calipers:

They don't list the PFF7s, but they are available for 05 model with the larger PCD.

The SSR GT7-H is very similar to the PFF7 design, but in a 19 inch rim. Have a lok on the www.tirerack.com website, enter your cars details and you can see how each design looks on your car.

I have tried a few places looking for the pff7 in 19" however no joy

Any Idea?

Craig

If I were you I'd run with 18's and save yourself some money on rubber at the same time :) PFF7' are the way forward IMHO

:)

PFF7s are only available in 18"

There are similar designs available in 19", but as Cal says, I'd stick with 18s in terms of ride quality, looks, costs etc.
