Idrees Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'd just go for 15s mate, peace of mind and they'll definitely look good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Go with 15's. 16's are a bit too big in my opinion and may lower the handling capabilities. 15's are optimum i'm sure many of the guys and girls in the club will agree. Faster acceleration, cheaper tyres etc.Go for 15's you know ya wanna! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 the off set of the alloys is one of the most important things, has no one thought about that??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B19YUL Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 aye 16's in my eyes slightly too big looking for the car. i went for 15's with wide tyres awesome grip likes! and no rubbing, but if u are wanting 16's i am sure they will grip ememse aswell and if it does rub then just get the arche's rolled cost's about £10 per arch. had it done on my old corsa works a treat!....i have the 15's on with a 65mm drop no rubbing lol......and it's slammed...

paul w Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I've had 14" 15" And 16"s on my GT when i had it. As long as the offset is ET35-38 they should be fine.The only time my 16"s rubbed was giving it some stick in the twisties it would catch ever so slightlyon the plastic inner arch. Performance wise theres very little difference unless you have stupidly heavy 16"s or very light 15"s. Mine was feckin low too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 15's - cheaper tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Its all to do with the correct offset Just get 15s to save arguments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ET38 offset on 15s should never rub mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
