Captain Bluebear is on a distinguished road
Question 16" wheels on a ZS
Would there be any handling improvement when running 16 inch wheels? Is anyone running them at the moment?

My thinking is the little extra profile gained would suit our bumpy roads a little better, what do you think?

Some do run 16s, brakes are a little close but okay but not all IIRC only certain wheels.

If you use OE wheels then yes... if not you should take into account Ofset etc before choosing your new wheel
