Default What 17" rims to fit over K-Sport 8 pots-classic.

As above. Prefer 17s over 18s, i know most Rotas fit over gold Brembos but K sport are fair bit bigger. Anyone running this set up?

Bez used std. hawkeye WRX alloys...

TBH I expect he'd use the 8 pots, but not 100% sure.

Many thanks chaps, yes do like the oz p1 rims but they have to clear 356mm discs.

Will try the suggested

Sorry my fault for not mentioning disc size

Obviously i have presumed wrong that a scoob i saw on 17s with 8 pot K sports was running 356mm! must have been on 330mm.

Ok cool at least i know now.

Many thanx

There are some 18s out there that don't look too big

My speedline turinis look smaller than a mates oz superleggera, even though they're both 18

Just try and keep the weight down...

A physically larger wheel has greater inertia, this dulls the acceleration slightly, mine are 3% bigger overall, but weigh the same as the OE wheel/tyre combo., and I can feel that through my "bum-dyno"...
