Thinking of changing my wheels for 17" . Is it ok to increase wheel size for all four wheels. Or will I have to still keep fronts 1" smaller.
What wheels do you recommend

Round? It's a start.
You can put upto 18's all round, if you want to keep nose down stance then yes keep different sizes. You might want to get height adjusted once changed.

You can use 17" all round with different tyre profiles.

There's lots of discussion about offsets with a variety of opinions. You need to know the width of the wheels you want, and then you can calculate an offset that gets the tyres to be positioned as closely as you can get to the original ET25 front and ET35 rear.

BTW Compomotive sell a good range of wheels, and will make just about any size and offset you could want.

They will go on, studs ok, offsets out but not sure it spaces would sort it.
A lot of people have gone for silverstone performance or team dynamics pro race 1.2
I've just gone for latter 17 18. Came out 600 wheels only.

They don't sell direct but give em a ring and they will find closest reseller, they were real good for help and will sort wheel and tire size and offset for your car.

WWW.silverstoneperformance.co.UK click on the sp12 wheels. They used to do discount if you quoted pistonheads.
