17 or 18 inch alloys

Will 17 inch alloys fit on no problem? Also how about 18 inch?

Will i need to fit coilover suspension? Don't want any rubbing what so ever.

my 17s fit perfectly with no rubbing at all.

Don't be put off buying 17s if its looks you're after. Iwould never return to having 15s on my car again.

Can't comment on 18s, however personally I'd spend the extra money on getting a better set of 17s.

Do you have wheels in mind? If so a pic would be nice.

18"'s will be a harder size to get to fit without rubbing etc issues s:? :? s:?

the tyres on 18" will be rubber bands

Go for 17's, 18's will make the car look like a rollerskate imo and probably ruin the handling which is the whole point to this car (again imo lol)

Right decided to go for 17 inch alloys. what size tyres is best fitment? eg wider at back or not?? what sizes have people gone for? then gonna lower 30mm on tte springs or tein coilovers?

the main thing is to keep teh stagger front to rear.

you shouldn't need to go wider than 225 at teh rear.
