Wheels on a griffith

[stoker302]

Having read a few articles on here, I am thinking of changing my wheels that I have on my griff, at present it sits on 18" spiders in black, I am wondering if it would be better on say 17" or the 16" spiders with a larger tyre wall. The sizes at present are 225x35xzr18 on the front. The reason for changes are the thread I read about there is not much notice given when the car just goes on a corner because of the low tyre wall having no give in it, if the wall sizes increased then there would be more signs of the car going to slide or losing grip. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I think you are correct, but one question first - did you get the ride height adjusted and a full four wheel alignment done after you changed the wheels and tyres? I was advised to have my geo and ride height re-set for the wheels and tyres I wanted to use on track, and it made a big difference to the handling.

I bought the car as it is just over a week ago, but the front has been catching the top of the inner arch, so the answer to your question is really no. Who does that sort of work ? I am in Durham.
