When you find out.. can you let me know as well

I am thinking 15" or 17".
17's will give me slightly higher gearing, and less comfort as they have shorter sidewalls.

17's are expensive and 15's much cheaper, 15" is probably the size that has most choice in tyre make and type.

Plenty of 15's on Ebay etc, as everyone wants Bling 17's.

I want a min of 205 wide all round, Luego's bit of paper suggest 235 on the back, and 205 fronts.
Different wheels and tyres mean no spare - So carry a couple of tims of instant puncture fix or an AA card and a phone.

Halfords have a deal for 4x 15" with tyres for £280 new.

Thats as far as I have got.






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Im fitting Peugeot offset alloys, 6.5" x 15", will go for 205 50 x 15" tyres all round.
Luego did say that peugeot offset fit fine, and they stick out slightly more than ford offset :-)

Halfords deal is a bargain me thinks but i already have me wheels !

I've noticed that 195's are slightly cheaper but will see ??

Also - what make of tyres does anyone recommend ?
