195 width 15" and 185 width 14".

14's are more fun.

im on 16x7's at present with 195/45/16 tyres.

but im going back to 15x7's soon, with 195/45/15 tyres.

i was only running 16's to accomodate ST205 brakes, and now i can get away with 15's again. so id rather reduce the weight, drop the CofG and get rid of the tramlining lol.

I put 15's on mine and undecided yet whether its ruined the handling - wait until i've had an alignment set up done first before I decide!!

I've mostly stayed with stock wheels but I have got some slightly wider 14" Volks which are the main wheels for the track car. Don't really want to go bigger but I'm thinking I might have to at some point if I decide to upgrade the brakes.

I have 15x7 on there atm, but have a set of 16x7 to go on, mainly as I wanted to put on a slightly wider tyre. But I expect the car might tramline as a result.

I'd love to be able to fit FOX RS5 17s but they'd comprimise the handling too much :(

My AW11 runs 15 x 7 CSA alloys, 195x55 tyres - I need some sidewall compliance for the roads I venture down.
I'm looking for a set of lightweight 14" rims, so I can have a 15" 'street/track' setup on low profile, and a 14" 'touring/crap road' setup on 60 profile.
