They've arrived! One final question-what are the best tyre pressures to use? Same as standard?
Thanks.

34/32psi front. 32/30psi rear.

I have always used standard pressures for aftermarket alloys.

yeah second that. an increase in tyre pressure is only necessary if the weight of the vehicle has increased for some reason. it has very little to do with width or profile.

Thought you might like to see the car with the new wheels. No clearance problems whatever.

Kind regards
