I didn't have issues with the laser on 18s 225/40/18s
On the v70r I had 18x8 and 225 it rubbed horribly with the white lock stops fitted
I think 18" wheels look a bit oversized though you can get away with it if they're 18" Pegs with a very low profile tyre and the car is super low.
17" wheels look pretty good.
Not quite an 850, but you get the idea (17" wheels are the right size for the car, IMO) -

How can you seriously say they don't look too big? Not knocking your ride or your look but they aren't in proportion.
Yup. The first set of 850 KW V2's in the UK, was a horrible harsh bouncy ride. Now the Fiddy is on the same suspension (different kit) and set at the correct ride height it rides very well. Coilovers are great for going low but that isn't the best for ride quality or handling.

cant decide to but 35s or go 17s think 35s will hurt the resale of the pegs and the more i look at them 17 td pro race are looking hot......on the team dynamics will i need 8j to clear porsche calipers? or will 7.5 suffice?
