just like i asked before, if i gat new 17" alloys, do i loose any stability at all while iÂ´m turning? how bad would it be the handling on the turns? or do i get better stability on sharp turns?
Thanx a lot....

I have 17's on my cc, I also have lowered sports suspension. I have found the cornering to be much better, it does not shift at all in corners - regardless of the speed into the corner - I have also found myself able to put the throttle down coming out of the corner!!! Well worth doing both to get the best advantage.

PS the downside is that every pothole of bump is really noticable and can make you spill your coffee!

About the same for me T3. Got some 17's and the front is dropped 35mm and the back is about 55mm lower for some reason. Was a bit shaky when the wheels first went on but once they settled feel quite comfy going around corners now.

bigger wheels can be prone to tramlining though
