I changed my wheels around a year or so and love the way it has transformed my car.

Please rember that your current wheels have sensors fitted and are not easy to take out out the current tyre with out damaging the sensor, which can cost upwards of £110 each sensor.

The sensor can be taken off and the sensor ecu disengaged if you require help drop me a email.

I bought my wheels from www.wheelsmania.co.uk most of the other guys have bought there wheels in from the USA.

If you decide to go this way remember the addional costs involved like import duty.

This is still a good way of getting the wheels you want.

19/ 20 both fit but remember that you will be replacing tyres from time to time and as they hit 20 they are harder to get hold off and are a lot dearer.

It really depends if you want a staggered look. i.e Rear wheel wider than front wheels.

I couldn't source any wheel manufacturers in the UK who make staggered fitments for the SC. The SC is simply not that popular in the UK and people here tend not to modify their SC's.

However, in the USA, there is more to choose from.

My Goodyear Eagle F1 245/35/20 tyres cost £160 each and the 285/30/20 cost £180 each.... I thought those prices were pretty good!!!

Thanks for all the relevent info guys. Not to worried about tyre price been there before. What about ride quality on 19 / 20's any major gripes from you guys. Also if anyone has any wheels for sale even just the wheel conversion kit let me know. Thanks

Like these deep dish but they are only 18"s

No major probs with ride quality on my 20's + lowering springs. Of course you expect a harsher ride, but amazing there is not a huge difference.

there is however dramatic reduction in body roll, more precise cornering, obvious increase in traction (I used to wheelspin easily when going round a rounabout when a little wet or wheelspin when accelerating), and less understeer.

Yeh quiet like those. Are they for sale and if so are they all tyred up.

Shame they are 18" but you never know.
