SP12 WHEELS?

[mr lock pick]

Hi all

Thinking of possible change to the SP12 wheels, however I would only change to fitting their wider alloys. I think the car will look more aggressive with slightly wider rubber front and back.

Has anyone got wider SP12 wheels on and if yes are their any problems with clearance, tyre rubb on inner arches when hitting potholes etc.

Also will fitting wider wheels and rubber have a negetive effect on steering feel, response etc.

Look forward to replies from current T350C owners who have had mods carried out please, if possible.

Thanking you all in advance.

Got 265/35 on the rear. Regular 225/35 on the front. No problem with clearance or tyre rub.

Steering feel, response etc is better. Lots of threads on this already.

I applaud your excellent choice...

Handling and ride are both loads better plus they actually fill the arches making the car look more solid

If you want to meet up and have a look let me know....

Great wheels - ride and handling are noticeably improved. Also, I think they look better as well compared to the spiders. I have 265/35's rear and 225/35's front and had no problems with clearance. However at some point in its life the arches on my car were altered to take 19 inch wheels with 275/30 tyres, so its worth checking that you won't have clearance issues.
