lewisvr6 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 right ive decided on wheels, somethin nice n standard lookin, these borbet cb's i think... i dont know whether to get 16's or 17's, im tempted by 17's as i think theyll look betta as theyll fill the arch but will it affect acceleration noticably?? plus my car is lowered so wil 17x7 be a problem on the arches??

H19LNE 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 17's should not affect accleration much. I have 17x7 wheels on my car lowered on coilovers no arch problems at all. Only had a slight problem clearing the calliper because of type of wheel but was all sorted by grinding down the calliper a little. Link to post Share on other sites
amazak 3 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 17's should be ok, mine is 60mm lowered with 7,5 J and cathes slightly on the arches... Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 17's do fill the arches nicely but 16's will give you a better ride - imo Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 16s all the way......ive had everything from 9" wide to my current 7" and 8" wide 928 S4s and 8" merc wheels Link to post Share on other sites
kilokilla 0 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 17s do affect acceleration a fair bit imo if you are going from 15s i prefer 16s aswell they give a nicer ride than 17s but again thats my opinion.Carl Link to post Share on other sites
ben_notts 0 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 16's all the way if your on a drop - too rough on 17's imo. Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Im on 17" and i did notest a drop in acceration, Put coliovers on at the same time so donno about the change in ride altho it seemed to handle very well. I got very very low and alittle abit of arch rolling sorted that out. Link to post Share on other sites
