18?

[Craig Bolton 10]

Hi just wondering do 18 inch wheels fit the corrado vr6?

[Jim 1]

Yes. But it's an enormous compromise to make. 18's look too large on the Corrado frankly.

Looks like I might me selling them then lol

At the end of the day it's your car - so do what you want :) But I personally think the downsides more than outweigh any positives.

"Ride" would be compromised , I would have thought it would be very crashy

Agreed; seen it done a few cars (sometime ago now) and it really doesn't work

I was thinking this also, just seen the post. Would 17 inch be ok? on a standard set up? should imagine it would be.

I have 17s, and so do many. Look great but does make the ride quite harsh. On a standard suspension setup though I think it'll look a bit strange with large wheels and such a high stance.

Im running 17s with coil overs, the car sits low and whilst i like the look of it the ride is bloody terrible!

I ran on 18's along time ago now !

It was a bit of a Taboo even back in 2006

I did have them on a VR6 and the set up did work well for me :D

If memory serves me I was on FK silverline coilovers and 215/35/18 tyres, the rear arches did need trimming back slightly, all tho rolling them would be better, I wouldn't attempt it now but I guess that's me just showing my age ;)

Good luck whatever you decide on ?
