Has any one put 8x17,s on there rst s1? what mods are needed cheers andyPS as i want to do this.

 

That's Nigel b's car if I'm not mistaken with 6 spoke comp mo's photoshopped on.

Are the 6 spoke 17" mo's only available in 8" wide and not less????

Someone photoshop them anthracite and I might be tempted

 

No its not

 

No its my car!!!!!!!!!!! 8x17 is the smallest 6 spoke

 

they also do the six spokes in 7 x 16 now

 

ok but i want 17,s

 

Is it for track?... Go 16 if it is

 

I reckon 8" wide would ruin it. You couldn't put 205's on them, so it would most probably tram-line like a bastid too.

 

Will leave it and forget about mo,s thanks Christian and Becci for your advise.

 

i'd go for the 7x16's mate

 

i will be when i have finished paying everything else

 

i tryed a set of tsw hocks on my s1,these were 8 x 17" with 205 tyres. although my car is lower than most,it drove like a bag of sh*t. the wheels rubbed on full lock,and scrubed the arches like a bitch.and my rear arches have been professionally rolled as far as they can go.THEY ARE JUST TOO WIDE.with my 17" voodoos i never once heard them scrubb(even when fully loaded giving it plenty round corners!!!) I WOULD GIVE THEM A MISS MATE!!!!!!!

 

one set of my wheels are 7.5x17" with 215 tyres and no rubbing,but the bells on the brakes space the wheels out more than normal

the other are 7x16" with 215 tyres

mine drives no problem on either wheels
