In handling aspects of the TT, would their be a benefit going to 18's for me?

I am considering doing some auto-x'ing this year and currently have 17" but I would like to know if going to an 18" wheel would give me significantly better handling.

I can not go with 19's because my TT has been lowered about an inch and I am confident that it would rub.

Unless, there is another way to get around the rubbing issue. "SPACERS"?

Can I go with wider wheels and just get narrower spacers?

HELP ME WIN!

Spacer sizes?

So you say you have 19's? Does it handle much differently than the original 17's?

For auto X I would say 17's....street driving 18's. 19's are for show.

I think you should definately go with 19's

HAHA....well..yep!

i think the big difference is the those "little" potholes/irregularities in the pavement are now bigger. Steering has improved, and fells more direct over 17's. I run 16's in the winter right now, and its like driving a cadillac...well, not quite, but i think you get my point.
The CH's are tough rims, but i can see how some could have a problem with 19's on the road.

For what you are considering, 18's would be the biggest you would want to go. Everything i have read says that that is the optimal size for handling, driveability, and overall durability. Now if you are going to do a seperate tire package just for Auto X'ing....then maybe just a good set of 17's with a slightly lower profile....

none....19" X8.5" ......with 30ET...
