Hi guys,
just wanna say a quick thanks to all that helped me with info on wheel fitments, tyre sizes etc. I can now write a bloody book on the subject.

If anyone else is thinking of changing to 17inch, i can tell you that 108pcd (which you all know) will fit fine with an offset of 35mm front and back (no need for spacers). 215/40z17 for fronts and 235/35z17 seem to work fine. Went for toyo proxes all round and seem very good.i do miss the nose down stance though. Maybe should have gone for 16 inch alloys front.

I have updated my pic on profile so would be good to hear what you guys think of them.Would have really liked raceline rl7s but they have stopped making them. bugger.

regards

Wheels look good! not too bling and quite simple style.

Been monitoring all the wheel advice myself, just waiting for some cash to walk in the door so i can get some compomotive MO's.

nice one

compomotive mos are fantastic alloys. had them on my lancia integrale. best wheels i have ever had and good if you plan to use your car for track use also. thanks for the feedback. wanted to keep the design simple.im quite chuffed.

You should either run 235/40x17s or 235/45x17 tyres.
This will give the car the original stance with the front tyre you are using.

See my pic on profile.

Ah yes, i actually wanted to get 45s on the rear but the tyre bloke persuaded me not to.Just shows you that i should have gone with my instincts. Must say, kahns look bloody good on you car. didnt think they would but looking at the pic, a great choice.
