ammarbm Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Problem is I got those old 5s in the shed. But when had tyres put in dc2 rims they got all scuffed up. And my mate mixed that paint one off.... So I'll have to Refurb them a different colour. Know what I'm sayin. Found some nice 16x7 et35 on eBay may go for them would need to sell me toyos tho to help pay for them and tyres16s suit the decks much better I think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 16s suit the decks much better I think I prefer 16's generally on the M's, seems just right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 ye 16's suit much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The decks can carry 17s off better i reckon. With a drop anyhoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 16s for me muat be honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Think that 16s will be the best for handling to be fair. I know that the 15s feel much more perky for acceleration, but the 17s feel much better for grip. If i was buying some new wheels I'd probably go for 16s. I just meant that decks carry 17s off better than hatches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 ye they do, toms does look good on 17's and suits the car the way its sat, i like 16's and being lowish as i find they are in proportion with the rest of the car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Only reason i would swap from 17s is the extra side wall for a smother ride, these roads nowadays are just s**t ........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah, don't get me wrong.. I love the look of my 17 inchers (might be going back on this weekend) but would like to try a nice light set of 16s to see how they feel. Always remember reading a review of the dc2 years ago that said something along the lines of don't be tempted to try bigger wheels than the 16s because you'll ruin the handling.

Krzys Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've always thought of 17's on the M as more of a show item than a handling item. I'm sure it doesn't make that much difference to an already compromised (as standard) car. Maybe on the DC2 it would have upset the handling because they were designed with that in mind whereas the M wasn't really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
