18's on a mk2?

[REMUS]

I have seen these 18's on mig that I quite like and a steal at £250!

But are they too much for a mk2? I mean they would look ace on the calibra, but wot about my Kadett E GSi...?

[_SBD16v]

i was going to buy them off mig for my mk3 convertable but i have just got some new 17's

[Kris]

Didnt the add say that it had a small hairline crack ???

[Kris]

i think they would good on the mk2 iih

[REMUS]

Yeah i'm just worried it will handle like shit tbh...

[Kris]

With my 18"s the ride would nock your fillings out but thats becuse my tyres are 215,35,18 ,handling is still ok ,but they are more for show than go .

[REMUS]

got any pic's of your ride?

Still wearing the worst paint Vaux ever came up with :o

[REMUS]

hehe :) got any more pic's of it at different angles?

[Kris]

What angles you looking for ?.

[REMUS]

don't mind I just want to see if the wheels look out of proportion to the car really, so just take a few snaps from a few angles m8 if you have the time it would be ace!

I wouldn't be so harsh, thats quite a nice dark red, it could of been any of the following:
Gazelle Beige
Dark pea green
Or china blue
all of the above i have seen on Mk2's and look hideous!

[REMUS]

Shame you live so far away from me merit, I have everything for a respray in my garage. Thanks for the pic's btw!

[astramike]

[Kris]

do they scrubb?
Nope ,the back arches have been rolled ,and so far ive had three in the back and sill no scrubage :D

in the sun it looks like someone had a matter to attend to in the paint pots (if you know what i mean):p

[REMUS]

weird i would of thought the fronts would be the ones that would scrub or are they 7.5" wide wheels?

lucky you! iv'e only had my driver's arch rolled (casue it wouldn't move with the turbo rims) and if i have one person in the back....the passenger side goes nuts!!

[REMUS]

sounds like you need low profile tyres or summit? what kind of a drop have you got on your gte sarah?

[Astranomical]

i was looking at some 19" for mine,i was told they wont go on the front unless i went to coilovers on the front?

[sarah gte]

it's lowered on 40mm springs and i have 195-45-16 on there

[REMUS]

weird, still shouldnt scrub really, do you reckon its because of the stud conversion, the cav rear beam is 20mm extra across.

yeah, i think that is what it is....no scrubbage on the front with the turbo rims at all.....so i'll go down to my body shop next week and see if they can role it for me...

[REMUS]

hmm so what do you reckon, should I buy those 18's? I just god damn know as soon as the cash is transfered a set of azev c's will pop up for sale :(
