I got 15x7s

Just dont put 17's on. Big huuge wheels/small car is not a good look, unless you want to look like one of those 17 yr old corsa drivers....  :wink:

17'' look and drive pants!

go with max 15's for a daily, or 16's with a slight stretch and make them wide!!!

(I'm running 15*7 ATS cups, but they be for sale shortly cos I fancy a change!)

I quite fancy some keskin kt5 brocklight but was unsure to get the staggered fitment with 9x16 on the rear and 7x16 on the fronts the just drop it on coilovers. I need to get the rust sorted first cos it's gone around the filler cap a the tailgate is like swiss cheese, but what can you expect for 500 :smiley:

Similarly, i'd like to know the width and offset that would achieve this look:

 :laugh: ain't that the truth! that and the sh!tty excuse Sheffield council call road surfaces. I saw better cart tracks on my hols in Tunisia.

stick to 15's with 195.50.15 tyres or you'll lose all your teeth and cause spinal injuries.
