Looking for new wheels *again*

Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for some new alloy wheels again but never really figured out what wheel / tyre sizes would fit on the car without having to modify the bodywork in any way :/

I can get away with bigger wheels and things on my insurance without it being considered a modification...

I think there's currently a set of 14" wheels on there atm

Also, is it really going to look like a tractor if I don't lower the suspension immediately??

thanx all!

hello,
ive got 18" Kahn RSC with 215/35/18 tyres and it doesnt catch at all. its still got plenty of room for lowering, around -40mm.

hope this helps.

but for a 1.2 you have to admit that acceleration was not quite what it used to be, even i notice that with 16s
