    VR6 - 16s Vs 17s!

    Reigniting what is undoubtedly a flogged horse of a subject.

    Montreal 2 16s Vs Bora Sport 17s?

    I need opinions gentlemen! Running CX Racings at the moment.

    Are 17s going to cause rubbing? Are they going to go ok on hill climbs? I'm probably a bit orientated towards functionality > Stance/ Lows/ sick as rimssss so factor that in!

    Cheers.

    Reporting for duty!

    17s with some schmick stretch is my second love, or 16s with chunky as tyres full race car fitment.

    Either way, just keep the gap to a minimal. As for hill climbs, as long as you have your coils adjusted properly you shouldn't have any problem under acceleration, i'd know. I drive a mountain pass twice a day.

    Cheers guys. I'm really feeling the Montreal 2s ala. Devins black vr6 from a while back. Just that perfect OEM+ look.
