Would my car still handle with 16" spiders or would all the geometery be out. As I am thinking of buying some cheap wheels to use for trackdays / drag strip etc ?

I know you run spangly yanky style chorme wheels, but IIWY I would just get some 18's for teh track, Mar - Your car would have been designed for the 18's and In my experience they are more than fine. Cars with 18's are set up differently to those which left the factory with 16's, so that's defo something to bear in mind.

A pic of me at Castle Combe in my now sold T350, shows how a 18 looks under some corner pressure...

I thought as much. Thanks for the reply.

Apologies - I just re-read my reply and noticed the appalling spelling!
