Jim 2 Posted October 31, 2006 Say goodbye to any sort of handling or ride comfort. Honestly - really bad idea IMHO. The Corrado was just not designed for wheels that big. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Darby 0 Posted October 31, 2006 what is the ideal size 16" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted October 31, 2006 16's for the best compromise between looks and handling, 17's fot the best 'look' IMO and 15's for the best ride. heres a C on 18's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catch_twotwo 0 Posted October 31, 2006 It's all down to personal taste..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 31, 2006 You might want to check the offset before handing over the cash aswell..... if it's 35 or lower, you're stuffed as far as adapters go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catch_twotwo 0 Posted October 31, 2006 will 18's need the arches rolled or not? It's the width and offset (ET) that make arch rolling / extending a must. The tyre gets smaller as the alloy gets bigger to keep the same (or close as possible) rolling radius. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 31, 2006 I think to keep the same rolling radius on 18"s you may have to do away with the tyres altogether! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 0 Posted October 31, 2006 I've not got any arch mods on my G60 and I'm running 18's at the moment only rub a wee tiny bit on full lock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted October 31, 2006 I've not got any arch mods on my G60 and I'm running 18's at the moment only rub a wee tiny bit on full lock I'd imagine the ride would be pretty hard tho? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dub envy 0 Posted October 31, 2006 THat red one above looks perfect on 18's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Darby 0 Posted October 31, 2006 yeh but i think ill look for some 16's now because i want the car to handle well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 0 Posted October 31, 2006 I've got koni coilovers on my G60 & polly bushes all round and it handles great. Better than standard setup by a mile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Darby 0 Posted October 31, 2006 oh i dont know what to do now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted October 31, 2006 I thought you'd bought these already on the bay... if so then you're already the proud owner of a set of 18's Sandy: What ET and width are yours ? as this is what the problem will be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
