Hiya guys After I have finished Molly's interior, I will be purchasing some new alloys and I was wondering are 10" too low i.e going over speed humps etc etc? or am I better staying with 12"? Lea  |

in that respect i haven't noticed any difference between those of mine with 10" or 12" ... the 10" do give a bit more cushioning of the bumps though as the taller tyres have more give and bounce in them  |

The Rolling Radius of 10"s and 12"s isn't all that different  If you were to see a 12" and a 10" together the outside circumference of the actual tire look practically the sale  The wheel in the middle of the tire will look smaller on 10"s and larger on 12"s ie 10"s more tire,12"s more wheel you will however have to change you brakes from 8.4 disc's up front to something like these www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=pb&pid=35799That set up is genuine cooper spec AP calipers,you can save around an extra £50 by getting the same kit with Minispares Calipers Apart from that you may need to change your Rear Drums as they are spacered type on 12" wheel models,however if your going for wider 10"s and keeping your arches you may be able to get away with using your standard rear drums I keep wanting to go for 10"s but Sam wont let me  My old Clubman Auto was on 10"s and i never had problems but that was 1999 before councils went Speed Bump Crazy  Huggz Jodie:) |

I think 19" is the biggest size among all. Is is comfort for my BMW if i wish to install these wheels. What is its effect on speed of vehicle if we install 19" rather than 18".  |
