I've had a 17" on mine, and they're fine, you can get one over an R32 disc & caliper too - so I think it's "generally" fine, so long as you're not into 6-pots & 360mm disc territory.
Hurdy, what are you planning to do with your 18"s??
The 18"s will stay on the car for a while as road wheels (as the 19" Black CH's have been sold to Golfster S) now as I prefer them to larger wheels. Nice and light for every day use and then stick the 17" TDPR's & R888's on for the Pod, any track meets and fair weather weekends
So sorry guys, no cheap 2nd hand alloys..................yet
There's tons of room over the discs and calipers and I've already decided on Gloss black.
Just got back from the shop and already bought mine
£1,100 for the wheels, tyres, balancing, fitment, tuner bolts and locking bolts.
I personally didn't mind paying a little extra for the tyres, as it is a 1 stop shop for me
I'm still happy to sort a group buy session for alloys/ alloys & tyres if you want though
He didn't have the alloys in stock and neither do Rimstock, but they will still only take around 3 weeks to make & deliver
The satin black 8 x 17's are in stock, but I stuck to my guns for the sake of the smaller weight
I can't see these tyres lasting too long if I use them on the road though
