Wheel size for saph 2wd
I'd like to change the wheels on my 2wd saph, but I'm new to the cosworth scene so could do with some help...
I'm undecided on whether to go for 16, 17 or 18" rims, so what width and offset would I need in each size, and what tyre size would be best on each?
Thanks folks,
Brian.

17's 7 1/2 j with a et30 to 35 offset will look good and still drive nice . 215/40/17s

8x17 are good, et32-35
You could run 215/40, 235/40 or 225/35
Wheels in my sig are as above et32 with 225/35 tyres
Arch rolling maybe required, but really is car dependant, ride height, springs etc.

18s on mine.

Doesn't scrub, front arches rolled, rears are standard.
All cars seem to drive different tho
Boils down to personal preference
