This week i am going to be replacing my wheels and tyres but im undecided if to go for 17's or 18's ????

I have 17's on at the moment but i want new wheels and i defo need new tyres.

Whats the pro's and con's of each???

By the way its 98 420 gsi (bubble shape) and yes i am ordering the lowering springs at the same time.

I thought you could get 18s on without arch rolling if they are the correct offset? I dunno I maybe wrong.

I would personally go for 17s, as they still look tidy, and you dont loose nowhere near as much acceleration as with 18s, also your speedo will not be out as much with 17s on either.

The correct offset for 17s is ET38-42 IIRC. I have ET38 17s on mine, and its lowered 40mm and it never ever scrubs :bandit:
