How about a picture peanut?

My wife has a SP23 sedan. If we get a chance on the weekend, I'll see if we can have a little test..... The mazda has much more torque. Pretty sure that the Mazda will lead off the launch but I think the stivo will take the lead probably after hitting lift in 2nd.

They look great m8...18's are the way me think. COuld you let me know : a) what tyre size you actually ended up with? B) How much bumpier is the ride over standard? c) Any rubbing at all? I must say those rims sure do suit your car.

I've got it installed... 215/35/18 will post pix soon runs smooth ← Please post, would love to see the rims. How much bumpier is the ride? You left the guards unmodified?

If you dont mind me asking, has the car been lowered?

Mikael, did you roll or modify your guards so thtey would fit? How much did you lower the front & back? Very sweet pics..

I have checked some past posts and they were mostly about 17's and correct tyre choice..very little mention of 18's. Quick 'stoopid qn' coming from a tax accountant: "18 x 7 would be preferable to 18 x 7.5, does it actually make any difference if 215 x 40 x 18 tryes are on both rims?, more potential for rubbing with the 18 x 7.5?" Cheers Happy New Year All!

Sorry anout that, any idea of a good search string? Cheers, Glen P.s. Got eaten alive from a set of lights by a new SS ute this morning...my stivo has nothing till about 70kph's..need to smuggle a CAI with a set of rims..expected to lose but I got whipped.

Howdy All Got a bit of Xmas cash and need to offload it quick before the missus buys herself something 'nice', hence I'm looking at rims again, and I am still unsure of what size. If you have 18's or have tried 18's on a stivo, could you please post: a) What size wheel? e.g. 18 x 7, 18 x 7.5 etc B) Tyre dimensions? e.g. 215 x 40 c) How much was you car lowered? e.g none, 4 cm's etc d) Did you roll your guards? e) Any rubbing/ride issues? f) If you could do it again (change your wheels), would you have some differently?...be serious now... ;) Many thanks in advance to all that respond. Cheers, Glen

Jewce which springs did you buy to lower it 4cm? How much bumpier (scale of one to ten)??

so do you think 215/40/18 will be fine?

Unfortunately those rims arent available in shadow 17's only 18's. There is a gold 17" set for $1,000 with tyres, but aint keen on gold rims with a light silver car. More interested in looks I guess, bought the car so I could save for my impending wedding and then upgrade to something sweeter in a couple of years. 17's appear to be the way to go....decisions..decisions..any idea what original 16's are going for 2nd hand?

Im no mechanic but I similar problem in my old MY94 WRX, gave me the sh*ts coz it was so random, it ended up being a faulty crank angle sensor, it thought it was protecting the engine and wouldnt let me start the car.

Cheers for that. I have sent a PM yourway.
