will 16inch wheels clear the 300mm brembos? i know TGM motorsport had some 15's on but they may have changed the brakes.....?? i think 16 inch wheels with fatter tyres look aggressive and i dont really like the look of 'big wheels'....lol

ive tried the search button btw

Was thinking this the other day, anyone got any ideas?


I know there was 1 wheel design that fit in a 15". Think it was the old style team dynamics wheel?

There are several that will go on , but all look silly, you have to have such a big sidewall on the tyre to make the circumference correct , they will have a negative effect on handling due to the sidewall

17" aren't big they are the std size, I can't imagine you have much more choice in 16 as there will only be one or two that fit so will be much more limited ,

For track use then fair enough , although they still look daft , with a smaller tyre fitted it will reduce the gearing a little and can make it a bit quicker out of the corners ,

i think 16's with a slightly higher tyre profile, and lowered a tad will look spot on.....but i do understand 17 is the perfect size....it was just a thought...........
