Does anyone know if 19" is the minimum wheel size for the GTS? Good To Know suggests that it is, but I'd like to know if that's the case or if anyone has fitted 18".

Yes.. The only 19 inch requirement that I can see if for ceramic brakes (requires 19inch spare). Sermeka has put 18 inch (winters) on her Turbo.

Thanks. I’ll check but when I selected a GTS in Tequipment it seemed to only offer me 19” and above.

The spare wheel for a standard braked GTS is 18"
Only cars with ceramic brakes and a turbo PP with 360mm front discs need 19"s

We need to differentiate between spares and 'real' wheels. Internal diameters may be different, hence clearance from ceramics or whatever.

Nope !
18"s are 18"s and as has been said in many threads before, only ceramics and PP need 19"s Even a normal Turbo will be fine on !8"s

If you are looking for a set of winter rims for winter tyres you need to select 19". The brake calipers on the GTS are the same as the Turbo which increases the minimum wheel size to 19. I had to sell my 18" winter rims with the SD as they woudln't fit the GTS
