TanVr6 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Hi guys Can I get 18" alloys under my VR without scrubbing arches? I have FK coilovers which I will be replacing soon for KW's The tyre size is either 215 or 225? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted September 6, 2012 17s max id say really mate i cant say iv seen many corrados if any with 18s and there probably good reason for that , id simply say there just to big for the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 6, 2012 You can, but you shouldn't. Will be the general consensus around here. 16's are perfect for the Corrado IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanVr6 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Kool Thanks ---------- Post added at 1:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 1:28 PM ---------- Just missed out on some nice refuted Bbs Rs2's on eBay As I was a bit worried they wouldn't fit nice. Thanks again guys! Time to start hunting for some Original BBS RS again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 6, 2012 17's should always fit without rubbing unless you're going silly wide - 8"+. End of the day it's your car, do what you like with it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 6, 2012 18s would be OK if you have a lofty ride height, but it would look a bit daft. Lowered + 18s is where the fun begins! You will also need some huge brakes as the stock ones will look absolutely pathetic behind such huge wheels :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted September 6, 2012 16's with 45 tyre , looks perfect! and drives good too :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steVR6 10 Posted September 6, 2012 15" look too small (unless hugely wide and the car is dropped on its arse),16" (wider 8or9")look and ride spot on(well i'm gonna say that arent i:lol:),have ran 7.5j 17 inch rims with 205/40 tyres and had no issues rubbin/catchin but i reckon as kev has said 18s + lowered = problems. ---------- Post added at 9:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:54 PM ---------- 18s would be OK if you have a lofty ride height, but it would look a bit daft.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2012 Yes mate, they are / were 17s. BBS RX. I sold those years ago but I just like that pic :D It's on 15s now but I'd snap up a set of RXs again in a flash if I find some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo_lombardi 10 Posted September 7, 2012 alright lads im running 215/35/18 with 5 mil spacer and they are fine but i do agree the standard brakes look pants which im looking to change soon [ATTACH=CONFIG]69293[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2012 That looks really nice mate. What wheels are they? They suit the car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo_lombardi 10 Posted September 7, 2012 forget the name kev but they cost me £600 brand new with tyers but the colour is VW pepper grey with a matt laqer and took me two days to do :bonk: will find out what they are called give me five mins ---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 9:57 AM ---------- team dynamics /jet two colours silver and black with dimond cut lip but they dont make them any more :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2012 Good stuff! I used to have Team Dynamics Pro Race1, which were nice and light and suited the car. Again, they're no longer made :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
