The 17" wheel won't fill the arches up anymore than the 16" if you go up a wheel size, you go down on tyre profile so that the overall diameter is the same.

I've gone back to the original ones now, but these fit absolutely fine. There was some messing about with spacers when they were changed but as far as filling the arches, they were good.

These look great. Any spacers or fitting problems? Standard offsets?

Cheers

Wheels are Ford RS Soft Alloys and are 7.5J all round. I have no spacers or fitting/rubbing problems and all 4 wheels are 35 offset. I could probably put wider rubber on the 7.5J rim but would need to consider spacers above 235/245 and that would require a chat with Dom at TVR Power who set up the suspension for me.
