Default Which Turini's 18x8.5 or 18x8
I have desided on a new set of Anthracite Speedline Turini for my blue 07 Hawkeye Sti, but I am not sure which width to get, the 8.5 or the 8 inch.
Has one size have any advantage/problems over the other, and I intend having them supplied with Toyo Proxy T1-R tyres, but not sure which size to get.
I would be grateful for your thoughts and advice.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure on size as mine have been on my hatch and my MY11 saloon so different but call Rimstyle when you come to buy as did me a very good deal.

Is your car lowered mate?

If its lowered, I'd go for the 8.5's as they'll fill the arches a bit better!!! If its not, 8.5's may not look right.

Not lowered at the moment but will be on BC Coilovers in the future, as 8 inch is standard will the extra width cause any problems.

I can't help with wheel width but the T1-Rs are an awful tyre IMHO, too soft sidewalls and not the best in handling either.
