18's only improve handling but you lose some of the ride comfort. Big fan of the PFF7 on classic or the speedline turini's, P1-wrc. All these are 18/8 inch bar the p1-wrc which is 18/7.5 inch

What size tyres can you fit under a classic on PFF7s? Im currently using 225/35/18" SO3s. Would 235/35/18" tyres fit under the arches on a classic?

7.5 x 17 is the best for handling according to Bill Gwynne Motorsport. They seem to have had a fair amount of success.

17 is supposed to be the best compromise between handling and looks, i have ultralite atec 789's in 18 inch on my wagon classic, and they seem fine
