im thinking of getting some comps for my saph i do fancy 18s but will they be to big ,i have coilovers fitted and its droppd 20mm.does any1 have 18s fitted and wot do u think

 

Theres a good few of us with 18's mate. They are fine, handles well enough on them and don't really give any issues.

However personally i'd prefer 17's but can't hence the choice.

 

I still think mine handled better on 17s, its got plenty grip with the 18s just feels a bit "skitish" and loose with the 215/35series tyres.

As said above though........had to be 18s to get the style o wheel i wanted.

 

Look so much better with 18's on but as said they handle better on 17's. Just fitted 18's on mine with 215/35/18 tyres and have no rubbing issues.

You pays your money and takes your choice

 

Which ET for the magenta saff ?

thank's

 

Jimmy/Paul - are your cars 4x4? If so what brakes are you running and what offset wheel?

I've got 355mm on mine with alcon 6 pots and i've tried a 17x8 MO over and theres not a chance. But i'd much rather drop to 17's if i can.

 

Far prefer mine with the 18's on feels more planted to the road especially now with the adjustable rear beam.

 

If you PM Mark RS he'll be able to fill you in, the red car is his! I *think* his are ET 35 though....

I think both of ours are 4x4? Mine is any way lol

I'm running 330mm APs (CP5200 caliper) under 7.5" x 17" MOs with ET 37 If i remember correctly! I know you can fit 356mm APs (CP5555 caliper) under 17" MOs, but thats on a 2wd car. Talking to Reyland, i think the biggest you can possibly go on a 4x4 due to the offset of the discs is 343mm. That was on my 7.5" wheels, not too sure is you could go bigger on different wheels?
