Now that my car is running at 330bhp (well not quite, i am running a low boost map for winter) i am a bit worried that the skinny 215/40/17 wheels on the back were not going to keep me on the black stuff. so after days of searching, i managed to find some wheels that would
- Fit my car (correct offset)
- be wider on the back than the front
- not cost a fortune
what i did in the end was find some Ultralite Battle Monoblock wheels with the same design as my current wheels, but in 8" width. unfortunately they did not have a 7" for the front. so i decided to take the cheap option and just get the rears. i bought new tyres all round. Falkens.
They look great, the only problem is that the gunmetal on the rear is not the same as on the front. never mind, i quite like the drift / drag look.
i now have 205/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear. i perhaps should have found some 235/35/17 for the rear, but i can imagine they would be expensive.
