Still on 15" fronts 225/55 ZR 15 and 16" rears 245?45 ZR 16 ... Toyos right now. (1) can anyone supply Toyo or Rainsports or ??? in these sizes these days? (2) I could go to 4 new wheels to stay matched, do I go 16" or 17" ... some 17" wheels just don't look right (to me) on the Griffiths. I would love a set of the Ford RS wheels, in 17" they look great and I would be happy to stump up the cash for wheels and tyres.
I keep looking at wheels (e.g. Wheelbase and Demon Tweaks) but not getting that YES, THAT'S FOR ME feeling ...
Any ideas gratefully received!
JOHN

Thanks Belle... I will check as on reflection I think you are correct and they are 205 ... it was hammering down with rain and blowing a hooligan when I posted, I should have gone to the garage and checked. Will do in the morning. I have seen good reports on Rainsports so if I could find 2 fronts and 2 backs I would not hesitate.

OK folks, apologies for confusion ... just checked, fronts are 205/55 R 15 Y ... rears are 245/45 ZR 16 Toyos at present, but would be happy to find Rainsports in those sizes. Not had a good look online yet, will do when allowed (curruntly I am told that I should not be "playing with my car" whilst we have guests). John
