Default Classic wheel query.

I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times but I can't seem to find the answer that puts my mind at rest . I'm loking to upgrade my wheels and can't decide whether to go for 17's or 18's . Will I need to do any modifications to the bodywork to fit 18's? and what are the best tyre sizes to go for?

Looking at BK 238's or PFF7 replicas.

Thanks

Nigel

As far is I know no mods needed. Just watch the tyre width you put on, as it will rub on the rear arches if the car is lowered
