Default Wheels on a classic

I currentlfy have a version 4 sti on its original 16" gold alloys.

I've always been told when it comes to imprezas not to go up by more than 1 inch in wheel size.

Call me boring or the same as everyone else but i love the p1 oz wheels.

I've seen a few sets on here but they're 18's. Am i running the risk of ruining the handling of the car if i put these on?

I currently have adjustable G.A.B coilovers and a slightly larger discs than standard sti.

i have run 17" and 18" on my classic and i always found a better ride on the 17".


18s do look nice and came standard on some classic p1s as an extra

its all about the suspension setup really

its shouldnt ruin the handling though

i prefer the 17s myself, i think 18s look a bit large on the classic, the 17s also clear my 8pots.......

Just fitted 17 inch Turinis to my classic in anthracite. They look so much better than the standard gold wheels
