Styling 18's on a mk2b???
they will rub and you will have next to no power, as its lowered i don't know if they will fit at all without a lot of work, personally stick with 15's maybe 16's

not to mention the fact they will look like pram wheels on the car. each to their own and that, but u will need very unforgiving tyres (35 profile) and some arch roling to get em to fit, not forgetting the roling radius will be affected which will add strain to the clutch and gearbox, give u a slower take off and put the speedo out.

Check out your existing rolling circumference and compare to the 18s you want to fit. Bear in mind the 5% is actually a big difference, but the 'box should be ok though in-gear acceleration and top gear speed will be reduced.

Spend the money on hydraulic ride height adjusters
yer i would avoid 18's even 17's as they look far too big. I have 16's with 45 profile they dont rub and look better than 15's.
I have not lower mine quite yet but also planning on 35mm but will be after 50mm in the future. not going down to 50mm at the moment because where i live there are so many speed bumps but if you can lower that much do it.

18s on a Punto? It would look horrendous :yuck:
If you want bigger wheels, how about a good set of 16s with 195/45s? Look much better imo
Ask round in the Stilo or Bravo forums, someone there might want them if youre selling them

Thanks, in that case I've got a set of 18's for sale lol.

The poor car must be busted trying to drive those... Wheels aint to bad, Lensos...? Id hate to drive it anywhere for fear of damaging something nice 2.5TD Range Rover though

i like how 18s look on that car and the ride height seems good too,i would never go higher than 16 on a punto anyway.as id be ****ting myself that they would fall off or something
Yer they actually dont look too bad on that car but just think of the strain on the car and i bet he can hardly turn those front wheels.
