My New 166

Hi,
I would like to think i'm driving my new 166 2.0 T.Spark right , Upon acceleration i can rev all the way to the limit. ~She just keeps going!!! I can drive conservatively through the week and maintain 32-35 mpg , but at the weekend i can let rip and have a go on the local dual carrigeway (a556).
The only problem i have is these damn 18" wheels! if the 166 was lowered then fine but, it just seems weird at the moment. I've been told so far not to other modding the suspension as its dodgy at best anyhow.Ta

Which 18s? - have you got the right tyre size (etc...)
