I'm told the smaller the better for cost as ET Streets get a lot more expensive in anything over 16". Standard callipers and rotors both of which I'd prefer remained untouched for now, and the same with the guards. Preferably something off another model perhaps? Any help would be much appreciated.

Go the 17" ET street, proven Combo and about $600 a pair.

Figure if I start with wheels that won't need replacing for a while then I can save a bit of cash in the long run.I'll have a shop around on the weekend and see what I can find as far as 17" goes, Cheers.

Josh Walker Member 4 Member For: 13y 13d Posted 05/09/13 05:48 AM Author Posted 05/09/13 05:48 AM (edited) Dunno about traction control, probably does although you wouldn't want it on for a pass or it's defeating the purpose of slicks really. The ZF box doesn't like variation in L/R on the back, hence it's a good idea to have a same diameter spare to the 4 on the car. Not sure if prolonged use can damage the box though, I've never tried it nor read anywhere that it can. F/B shouldn't have any affect on the box at all. Edited 05/09/13 05:49 AM by Josh Walker
