vr6newcomer 1 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 hi, i was just wondering if there are any negative effects on the cars handling or traction when fitted with porsche rims and adapters? any advice would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 It will depend on what porsche rims you're thinking? On 8x16 D90s my car felt excellent, better than any other wheels on any VR Ive had.... If on the other hand you've got a set of 11x18 and 13x18 BBS from a GT1 then you might have problems Link to post Share on other sites

vr6newcomer 1 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 no im not looking for silly wide rims, my mates just put some 9.5 x 16 put on his vr with 30mm springs only, and he cant drive it it with anyone in the back. im putting on f.k. coilovers, with probably about a 30 mm drop, coz of all the speed humps where i live, but my cars a daily driver and i didnt want to sacrifice and handling or torque by using adapters, so i should be fine, thanks for the advice.

jaysVR6 2 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Anything 8 and over with 17's you will need your arches rolled. Over 8.5's you will need your arches pulled. My new 8.5's fit perfectly but I have had my arches completely rolled back on themselves.11x18's as Justin says, I reckon it'd probably be best if you cut your arches off!!! lol Link to post Share on other sites
