At the risk of annoying you all, could I ask for your advice on wheels please?
After seeing two Griff's with Lenso BSX wheels fitted I would like some for the Chimaera.
I don't want to go mad and am thinking of 7.5"x 16 all round with a ET25 offset.
The question is what size tyres? I am happy with 225/50 on the rear but should I retain the 205's on the front.
I know the last Chimaera's had 245 and 225 tyres but is this overkill for a standard 4.0 car with PAS?
As usual, all comments appreciated!
Regards Chris

The 245 Rear & 225 Front combo is the correct fitment for a PAS car, droppping down to the 205 will alter the steering feel - how much and whether you like it is subjective and you would need to try both sizes to work out if it works for you.

Tyre choice (brand) in the 245/225 combo is somewhat limited, which may also influence your decision to change size.

If 7.5 inch rim you want 35 to 38 offset.
