18 or 19 inch wheels???

fto owners,
I'm looking into trying to fit 18 or 19 inch wheels to my fto!Does anybody out there heard or no of anybody who has done so? Reason being i would like to no if there was any problems after fitment of such a large size tyre and rims package! once fitted i'll post some pic's for all you guys to drool over... hehehe.

thanks guys!!!:flash:

:eek: You really going to put 18s or 19s on it??? I would have thought the ride was already bumpy enough on the standard 16s so to jump to 18s (and the cost of tyres!!) :eek: :eek:

I would have gone for 17s myself, but if you are dead set on going for one of those then definitely go for the 18s.

my friend has placed 18' on his type r aero 97 fto

situated in victoria.

nice too, but the ride is ok, as long u get good shockes. well it depends, if u like em' soft then its negligable, but if u like it hard like racing then its a diff story.

If you go to my website and follow the links for the MMM5 pictures, there is a silver GPX there with 19" Wheelmania Jade Alloys on.
I'm under the impression that the front wheel arch linings were removed and some of the body work "massaged back a little", mainly due to the width. Have a look here.....www.ftology.co.uk

cut the guards out and chuck some 20in on it WHY NOT :P

People, i've got '95 FTO GPX and it's 250HP, but i never allowed myself to fit 19'' wheels becase they make a car slower and you are gonna need more money for the fuel case with 10'' wheels your car is gonna become very thirsty

Hey mate, ive just fitted 18" wheels to my 94 gpx, and they fit fine. No rubbing at all. It will desperately need to be lowered tho, looks like a tractor at the mo!

I've got 19 in fitted to mine. There is no problem what so ever. The car looks hot as hell with em on. It doesn't scrape, and gives it that unique look!

i just put 18's on my 98 Mivec 2L V6 Version R 200HP FTO...

Fits Perfect! and Lowered Love the Ride Nice and Bumpy looks SEXY!

I have put 18"'s on my mivec gpx and sooooo wish i'd gone bigger! I have lowered it and the wheels still look lost in the arches! 19s and 20s will fit on with no problem! those extra pennies will be worth it!!!
