j1mb0b1 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Right I am after getting 16 inch wheels for track day use and fitting them with toyo R888's, my car is on 18's at the moment and is lowered around 20/30mm, The question I ask is with the 16's on and lowered will it be to low and handle rubbish ? or is lower better ? with the 16's on and the lowered springs the car will be sitting around 4 inch off the road that to low ? Yes i will be avioding speed humps lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steady_dave Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Mine at the moment is lowered 30mm and on standard 16's and it handles brilliantly. If your wanting to use it for track use then I can't see it being a problem. Can't remember or not you have a J-Spec don't you? Otherwise not a chance you'll fit 16" on with UK brakes!

marc_p Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Just saying that 16's are better than 19's, f**ked shocks don't help but it was better on smaller wheels(with the knacked shocks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
