Wheels/stance/ride height
I was thinking....will the wheels on the concept be the ones on the production car? Also, the ones on the concept are different sizes, that gives the car a very mean, agressive stance......wonder if they will keep the wheels, stance the same on the production?

I hope they stick with the offset sizes too. At least a 19" in rear, and maybe a 18" in front, they cant go wrong with a big rim.

Since they said it would be almost exactly like the concept I hope they keep the wheels too. They're one of my favorite aspects of the exterior design. It definitely looks mean.

It would be nice if they were offset. But, let's look at the cost of replacing those nice tires. If you have offset, you can't do anything but rotate the two from right to left (IF THEY AREN'T DIRECTIONAL). I'd rather have 19's or 20's on all 4 corners. Keep'em all the same for money reasons...

If the final car has the dimensions of the show car, I think it is safe to assume 17 or 18 rims. Whatever the rims are that are on the new GTO or the Holden are probably the size they will be using.
Most people don't know this, but when a car has 18" rims, they have to soften the suspension to compensate so your rims don't get so easily bent when you hit a pothole. They do this on the new mustang GT if it's ordered with 18" rims. It has a different suspension. I am also pretty sure the suspension is softer on dodge trucks that come factory with 20" rims based on how it felt when I drove one. |

But they do use "unique suspension tuning" on the new mustang if it's ordered with 18" rims. I will try to find out exactly what that means. I assumed its softer because the v6 model itself has a stiff ride. (rented one before for a day). |
I'm guessing only the top end models will get 20" rims as standard. Anything less than 19" is going to get lost in those arches. A good wheel size is the finishing touch to a great design.

The production model will not have the huge rims like the concept has. I've heard 18's rear, 17's front. ;)

I personally think the wheels on the concept are just a bit too big. But I would like to come close to them without going to the over-the-top size of the concept car's 20". I think 19" wheels may be perfect for this car (from a looks standpoint).. |

19" R/ 18" F OK with me! :thumbsup: I'll bet there'll be a couple of wheel options available. ;) |
