just got some toms skirts so planning toms rear and either border or bomex front end but cant decide what size rims to go for 17 or 18 thing is i have 2 18s on the rear at the mo and they look spot on with whats planned but i think 18s will look to big on the front, what you guys got? can you also chuck up some pics?

cheers luke

Heyya dude

This is mine. 17inch pro race 1.2. 215s on the front 245s on the rear

Standard suspension. This feels just tight enough to know your in a sports car but not teeth shatteringly hard. Nothing skims or scrapes either.

Can you not go 18's on rear and 17's on front? Strange I know but could give you the look you want!

I'd say 18s on the rear would make the arches quite tight, they would probably need rolling even on STD suspension... Mine are tight as in 17s

18s fill the rear arches spot on ive got stretched tyres so no scrapige as the cusco coilovers are solid! and its sitting low, but want someting to match on the front was thinking the black and chrome lipped inovit st6 rim in 17 for the front,
