Hello guys, i´m thinking about changing my stock 15" wheels to a 17" ones... I dunno yet, wich model (if u have any suggestion, be my guest) i will buy.

But the biggest problem is the size of the tires... I´m using a Continental 185/55 R15, i think that a 205/40 R17 will fit ok? Or can be a bigger one?

If it is possible, i would like to use 205/45, bcoz in Brazil we don´t have soooo good streets and the possibility to stick a R17 tire is very high...

If anyone can help me, i´ll be vey helpful.

Grazie! :)

Hi Raphael, if you don't think the streets are very good in Brazil then perhaps it's not the best idea to go for 17" wheels? Perhaps some 16" ones would be better?
 
But i think 17" it´s ok, if i´ll be carefull :)

205/40, right? The same as Abarth uses? Thanks!

Hi, I have just put a set of 17" multi spoke Abarth alloys on my 500c with 205/40/17 tyres.
They fit straight on with original bolts too. The ride is a tiny bit harder, but they look mint.
