16's on the front and 17's on the back then lol.....

[GTE-RACER]

oooor.....17's on the drivers side un 16's on the other side :-D

Feck it...i'd go 4 16's and a good slamming

[?Marty?]

17's. No doubt.

You'll hardly even notice the difference in handling, but it will make more of a difference in looks.

Go for something light weight if you must.

16's and 60mm!!

Less if any arch work with the rite wheels! Will make a slight handling diff to 17's of course it will! Just like 15's to 16's will slightly!

[Jim]

Now that I've seen your car, I change my mind :)

I think 17's will suit the styling that you have gone for. 16's will look far too small in those arches. 17's will also give you that little bit more clearance with the BAT bumper, belive me, you will need the clearance.

i had 16"s on my wide arch kit and they look tiny... even my new 18"s are small... could fit 19" 20" easily by just having a huge offset... i have 18/215/35 with et42 offset and still need 6 - 12 mm spacers.... for now i've gone for 6 mm coz i don't really like using them.

But i'm already dropped 40 and it still makes it look high so i think it might need lowering to 60mm even if you do fit 18".

Sorry to keep comparing it to mine but its so similar.... one thing with the wide arches on the back... i hope you have built a new arch inside otherwise you'll never keep the sh*t out of the huuuuuge wings.

Hope you get it on the road soon

LOL thise pics look exactly what mine looked like a couple of months ago, getting mine back sunday hopefully. :lol:

Anyway

If u have got the wide arch kit I would go for 17's, BUT if u can stretch a little further I think you should realy have 18's.

Obviously this will mean the handling wont be as good, so if u are after that stick with 16's.

My personal opinion though is 18's as they will go straight on and fill the arches, as the 16's will look lost.

Go for as big as you can afford. With the bodywork that you've already done I would say 17" at least.

I've got some wide arches on my car and I run 17" to save some money on rubber but I have had a set of 19" on it with no trouble an they look right.

It's all personal preference. I personally decked the car and sat it on some flat fronted rims wi=hich look bigger than they are.

Good luck mate.

normally id say 16

but on that car 17

YOU WILL notice the difrence!

[whitey]

Yeah i neva realised you has a wide arch kit! Go for the 17's or 18's if you can really stretch!
