Wheel Size
 
Just curious about the wheels that i'm considering....

Tenzo DC-5 V1 the website is: http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/roa...5v1/index.html
I can't decide to get 17's or 18's. I know that if i get 18's they look rediculous, or i might have to worry about curb rash, but im just wondering, will they rub the wheel wells. Take a look at that picture and tell me waht you think. One other question, does M7 offer a 15% pulley, because all i could find was the 16%. Would the 16% overrev the supercharger?

i have 18" John Cooper Works Alloys with 18/40/205 run flats on them. They work very well

No they don't but there are a ton of other companies that do. 16% is about optimal as long as you don't rev past 7,000. That said, I have the 16% and have a 7,500 rpm rev limiter and haven't had any problems. At a certain point you're not moving any more air, you're just making more heat.
