Is this totally impossible? would it drive like shit lol.
I suspect it would but thought I would ask.

Wasnt gonna put 17s on but now ive read that 6 spoke mo's are gonna be available in 17s and they would look the bollox
The car will be running coilovers if that would help, the arches would need to be trimmed I spose?
What ya think, yes they will go or no they wont?

 

Makes the handling shite ?

16's on an RST appear to be best for handling

Looks a bit high ? is that to clear the wheels?

 

personally i think you'd be very lucky! i've got koni adj's stiffened as hard as they can go and 215/40zr17 tyres on my S2 and they catch like hell going fast round corners! so god only knows what 8x17's would be like?
but you never know?
If you've got the money... try it!

 

yes u would have to trim!

also gunna tram like like a motha fukka!!!!

 

I'd say it's because theres no engine or running gear in....

15-16's are the way to go handling wise

 

Stick with 16's!!

 

its been photoshopped



16's are best for handling too

 

16's are for poofs. get em on. so what if you do need to trim arch's. get a focus offset an the arch's will just need a minor trim.

 

Poofs that can corner quickly, apparently...

 

apparently.

 

LOL 16's rule , if not 17x8 is the way forward

 

with a good suspension set up of course

 

Yes Benn they will fit! the arches dont need trimmed! The handeling is fine!

Steering isnt to heavy! I'm running 8x17's with an ET40 offset.

Ive seen an S1 with exactly the same setup as described above and he had no complaints either.

 

I'd go 16's and may well be dropping my 17's for a set. I get no scrubbing issues as such but the handling is just too compromised

 

Was gonna go for 16s then i heard about these new MO's, but now ive seen them we will stick to 16s lol
Too much hassle i think.

By the way Dingy, the pic is photoshopped, and has no runninmg gear or engine.

 

Thought you had to trim the arches on S1 for 17's even if there only 7" wide

 

So your not going with the 14" cloverleafs then?

 

You said you wanted them?
