Wheel width

Post by andz_smith »

I know this has probably been asked millions of times but I am wondering what width wheels you can fit on a two comfortably. I dont think I will be putting coilovers on mine as I had them on my bmw an could not get onto my drive haha. The two is low enough for now.

I was thinking of spacers on the rear to push the wheels out and keep the original 15s on that it has currently.

Post some pics and specs of what you have for my inspiration

I've been reading that The tyres on are decent so will last me a while till i can afford some better wheels. I was just wanting some inspirational pics of fellow members that was all and i need to get my post count up lol.

Ideally yes. 16 inch are the best size for tyre choice and handling.

If you're looking for wheels I'd snap these up, rare, great quality wheels made by Rays, perfect fit and an absolute bargain.

I'd also recommend 16s for availibility and optimal handling. The sale thread Nic has posted is an excellent price. :thumleft:

I was told these were sold as I wanted them. I've since seen them on eBay too so wonder if they are still for sale.
