CONFIRM NEW WHEEL SIZES PLEASE

[not so furious]

I am looking to change my standard alloys and tyres to modernise the look and get over the problem of ZR rated 15" tyres.

Not wanting to be to max power, I thought just increase front and rears by 1". From research done to date I understand original fitment to be as follows

Front = 7x15 et26 with 205/55 ZR15 tyres
Rear = 7.5x16 et33 with 225/50 ZR16 tyres

THe closest fitment wheels I can find that I like the look of are the Team Dynamics Prorace 1.2 alloys. SO am I correct in thinking the following will be the closest fitment and shouldnt foul the steering or bodywork

Front = 7x16 et25 with 205/50 ZR16 tyres
Rear = 7.5x17 et30 with 225/45 ZR17 tyres

Does this sound right?
This i think maintains the same tyre width and correct circumferance.

I cannot see any reason why you would have a problem. If the width, offset and rolling radius are the same, which they look to be, it all looks good....

Yep.

BTW the standard offsets are inch front, inch and a quarter (some say to inch and 3/8&quot rear.

They have only just released me...

So from what you guys are saying, I should be able to order with confidence.
Now do I go for silver or anthracite?

Anthracite. Good choice of wheel BTW

You have looked at what Silverstone Performance offer haven't you? Seems a little skinny to me, I'll put it down to the Bricks vs Toffees tyre war.
