Do I need bigger / wider wheels?

Post by tommy10101 »

Hi all,

I have pretty much decided my wheels do not fill the arches enough and need to wider. They are 16 inch. With the car lowered like this, is needs a wider track, especially at the rear. Do you agree?

I want to move up to 17s all round. What rim size is recommended for a lowered sw20?

17x8 front, 17x9 rear? What size tyres?

Thanks

Two things to watch out for with your proposed set up. Correct offset(ET) and wheel arch clearance.
