Are we lucky Gen6 owners ok with 18" rims or is there any chafage at full lock? I dont want to really get into rolling arches in etc.

Thanks

18s free and clear for me, wish i would have went 19.

ps, i think that was what you were trying to get at???

rolling arches? accidents?
full lock? steering wheel turned all the way?

Hahaha, yeah.

Thanks Andason, 18s it is then!

how about if i lower my car 1.5 inch and use 17's would that look ok?

I have 17" and it DESPERATLY Needs to be lowered, if you want your car lowered, I would get 17' if you just wana be stylin, get 18 or 19

When you say you need it lowering, is that because theres now too much bodyroll because of larger wheels...or just because youve still got a lot of space between the wheels and the wheel arches?

This is whats worrying me too, I dont want the handling to suffer because of larger wheels...wont will it? Please tell me it wont!!! LOL

yea same here cause wouldnt getting 18inch wheels and not lowering it still cause a big gap...

18

go for 18"!!!
Tufy recently install 18" on his car if you want to ask him few questions.

18's are a little too big in my opinion.. but what do I know?

the gap will be about the same no matter what if you have the right size tires. also what tire size do those with 18 have just curious cause i wold like 18's but will nevergo with less that a 40 series tire.

i have 18s but the wheels get bent easier! steering wheel gets shakey and all! its annoying and about 180 a wheel to fix.

18s look really good though

i have 18s and i love them. they make it handle better too. the only downside is that becuse you have a lower profile tire you feel the road more and it is easier to bend a rim.

i ahve 18's with 225/40/18 kumho supra's and lowered probly 1.3-1.5 and and a body kit but there is no problems wiht it , i think 17;s is to small cause you have to lower it alot more to get the proper look

I just put on 18's with 215/35/18 Toyo Proxies, with intrax springs 1.75" drop.

Thanks lads, 18s sound really nice but Im not sure if I like the sound of a bumpier ride and the risk of bending them. Might got for 17s now!

Agree with that, some 18's buckle easy when driven over bad potholed
roads, if you go for 18's and the roads are poor where you are, you'll
be weaving like crazy..

Well that certainly rules 18s out then, I live in a village with potholed roads

Yeah, i have 18's and 35mm tires...its more about watching potholes than enjoying the ride. If u do gte 18's, get at least a 40mm tires, if not 45.

What do you guys think of these 2 (17")? Anyone had Wolfrace before? These are going for £495 with tyres on ebay UK...
