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.

You don't have any problems with clearance at full lock??

absolutely NO problems!

18s look wicked, what engine size u got?

got any pics?

coming very soon!

plenty of space under arches!

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

that is very true. but my 1.2 12v aint so fast to begin with.
im after looks as i need the cheap insurance.

Any chance of those pics??

ill post them up over the weekend
