Mine is on 235/35/19's and it's 1mph out at 100 mph, on Elvington of course....

Huge footprint gives loads of grip, ride is o.k. if you are an enthusiast, IMO.... but does make standard brakes look a little "sad".

See mine on Kojak's car in View my Scooby...

I'd almost say stick to 18" as wheels and tyres are cheaper...

You choose !

P.S. His car had just come off the jacks, it isn't always so "tractor-like" !

Prodrive stick with 18's, so I guess that is supposed to be the best compromise between handling/ride quality ? I have 18's on my 02' WRX and wouldn't want to go any bigger.
