just a quick question,
anyone got any pics of a 180 with nimrods on ?
I want to see if it would sit too high on them , at the moment I have a 180 with silver 180 wheels , but I have a set of black nimrods that I was going to put on until I refurb my 180 wheels.

I'd bet it would look like a 138 GTi....maybe a few mm lower but not much. I bet it would handle and ride better too.

Well if the tyres are the same thickness i.e 40/16/195 and 40/17/215 (just for example) then the car would be half an inch lower to the ground but there would be an extra half of an inch gap between the arch and the top of tyre. Handling in my opinion would be better just like Edward mentioned.

They actually look worse on a 180 than on a 140 unless you lower it alot

60mm? It doesn't need dropping that much.
