Default Alloys for my99

hi all,

quick question for you.

would putting 17's on my scooby alter the handling for better or worse or would it stay reasonbly the same you can assume as well i would be putting good rubber on gsd3's say (i do rate them) with 45 profile 40's a bit low for me thankyou

would anyone be able to photoshop some onto a silver my99 classic

won't be just yet as might be moving abroad but if i can take car then it might be happening

I changed from 205/50/16 to 215/40/17 and all I can say is "WHY DIDNT I DO THIS SOONER!?" Much better grip and turn in. Ride not too much different, much prefer the sharper steering.

I found the overall handleing and in particular the body control over crests and undulating roads at high speed to be miles better with the 17's (215/40) on my otherwise standard V4 Type R than the original 16's.
