Is anybody running the early jap' 16" wheel sizes.??

 

Mine is, and DESPITE not being the most fashionable, I like the ride NO stiffer than it is already thank you.

My car also came with 16' wheels.  You get a significant handling improvement by going to 17's.  UK stock wheels can be purchased second hand from £250.  As for the ride comfort, the difference is hardly noticeable.

Thanks Phil (I'll look there tomorrow).

 

I'd have to try a Soop with the 17's first, BUT,

if there IS no difference then the 17's are liable

to be easier to get tyres for ??????

 

I know when I drove RS's with anything bigger than the

standard 15's the ride become EVEN HARDER and MORE skittish

round bumpier corners ! ! (maybe a feature of cheaper Ford suspension

BUT makes me wary of losing TOO much tyre flex).
