Affect the hadling much when the car isnt lowered?

Cheers

mine has 17's on and isnt lowered it handles prob better than before. let me know how you get on

Hmm...ok thanks.

Just the same really.

I had them on OEM suspension. Only problem is the car looks as if its on stilts (eibachs sorts this out nicely though)

Id say there much the same maybe a little less spongyness in the tires as the side wall is smaller

Comfort wise a little harsher / harder on the road - but this is very minimal

ok mate, im trying to find some pics of yours!

Corking mate, ta muchly!

Im thinking of graphite for mine though, or black...!

does it affect your acceleration or top speed much.?

does it affect your acceleration or top speed much.?

Not at all as the 16" and 17" wheels share a very similar rolling road radius due to tire sizes

have a look here

Tire size calculator

I'm running 17's with a 40mm drop on H&R set up. As Jas said, its a little harsher but not much. My initial acceleration was better on the 16's but with alot more "traction light" flashing.

The 17's "feel" better IMO, more feedback through the steering wheel.

Got them fitted ok, and it drive great , a lot more responsive i think.
