Anyone ever sucessfully got 17" wheels to work on a GT with ultra low profile tyres?

Quite fancy using some on the track, and I've got a set of Dunlop 17" slicks off the original Evo wheels :)

Advise pleasums!

well bud my gt had 17s on it wen i first bought it and it hated them bein honest they kill the car in so many ways like it was a huge difference in pullin power and top speed wen i went to 15s

and the rubbin of the arches:eek: the slightest bump in the road and it would rub the whole time i hated them

wouldn go near my gt with 17s now that was a life lesson
just my 2p

Wowww.

Really, really like them...

I think some on stupidly low rubber with rock hard coileys are the way forwards :)

personally, i think 15's are a great size for the starlet. 16's at a push. after that it looks a bit funny (imo)

there's one car that totally pulls big wheels off though, and that's Enzo's red Glanza.

TBH, i think you have some way odd ideas with your car. If you want 17"'s then you go for them mate, its your car.

Personally i wouldnt bother. 15" perfect, 16"s if you need them for brakes.

Your car would be nigh on undriveable with superlow profile tyres and rock hard coilovers, it would really piss you off.. unless you never drive it!

ye. they do look awsome but they do spoil the handling
but if u want it to be quick (not mental quick lol) and look sweet. fare play.
i prefer my 15's now tho. as i can drop it on its ass and it handles ace. + the black and green r ace

I like the look of the 15"s as they look purposeful, the 16"s look kinda cool but 17"s, with the right selection of wheels, will be awesome :)

I think I'm going for slipstreams on the back and subzero's on the front.
