hi Anthony ,i'm sure the fronts are a 7j and the rears are 7.5j , so would I be correct that the offset should change to allow for the new size of wheel

Not worth worrying about .

I need 17s to fit the front brakes and there aren't really any that I like that much apart from mine (but they are the wrong offset)
If I had standard brakes, I would just keep these on it.
No offense to anyone but I never really liked the imolas, they just look a bit too small with the large wings/arches.
But each to their own, it would be boring if we all liked the same

Stunnig azevs and very period, apologies for the late in the day post..

Slipped these on today, any views welcome. They're Team Dynamics 1.2 (the same as Daz, iirc). 16" fronts, 17" rears.

Mmm, missing my old Image wheels........

I put Team Dynamis on, 17 rear and 16 front. I don't think they suit the car but will use them for track days

I have these ,the fronts look a little odd because the front spokes are shorter .They look better in 17" all round.

Other than changing from 15/16 inch to 16/17 inch I've deliberately kept the other dimensions similar to the Estorils. This has meant that they fit without any clearance/rubbing and no need for spacers. Actual sizes are:

Front - 16 x 7.5 ET25 with 205/50 16 (car is non-PAS)
Rear - 17 x 8.5 ET35 with 235/45 17

[GTRene]

those look good on that Chimaera.

Simonwedge thanks for the information
I thought the rears looked a bit wider looks very good on a 8.5j and I take it you have not had any rubbing on the rear wheel arch
on a et35 how far do your wheels stick out ? im guessing they are nearly flush with the outside of your wheel arch
are you using a 40 or 45 profile on your 17" rears
