Will fitting 19" OZ Superleggeras affect performance compared with stock 17"?
I've got the stock 17" on my bugeye STI Prodrive and I was wondering if it will affect perfomance by fitting 19" OZ Superleggera Alloys. Will it make no difference if I use a lower profile tyre?

look around, google search for tyre calculator. enter the standard wheel and wheel, tyre size and new sizes. this will then tell you the % difference.
I would say the performance will be simular but the Handling and ride will be poor. IMHO
I'd only put 19"s on a Scoob to take Pictures of it and NO other reason

Absolutely no problem, mine is 1 mph out at 100 mph according to my sat-nav....
On 235/35/19 Toyo R888's I defy anyone to find a fault with the grip or handling....

P.S. Neither of you mentioned the lack of tread depth, or the burning pain in the wallet ! ! !
