If possible put a note of tyre size too, may help those wanting to upgrade.

I know it depends on offset, width & suspension spec, but any one wanting to upgrade to a certain size can always PM members for further info!

My beast has 17 inch EvoII's, have been through all sizes and wont be moving from 17s without a big fight. I settled on 215 tyres. 205 are slightly lacking in grip and 225s are too easy to slip in the wet. Plus 225s took a fair bit of work to stop them rubbing.

The veg car has 15 inch steels for cheap cost and ease of tyre replacements.

Prefer the standard setup on my 2.5-16, but I can see the appeal of O.E Evo 1/2 wheels etc on suitable cars B)
