Hi guys, I have been looking at the exact same alloys! In fact the reason i founf this thread was because i was searching for a side view photo of the wheels to photoshop them on my car to see what they looked like, and google found this thread!

I thought they would suit it (silver marea weekend) and I can't be wrong if other people have bought them, but what's this about rubbing?
I can't be having any of that, is it just when you drop the suspension?

The thing is, my standard wheels are 185/65/14 and I work out that a set of 205/40/17 should have the exact same overall diameter.
My standard wheels don't rub even with a tonne of dj equipment in the back so why should the alloys if they are the same size???
Fair enough if you went for 215/40/17 tyres you would end up with an extra 8mm or something but the 205's should be ok surely?

Please somebody set my mind at ease as I did really want them! :worship:

(Either those or some kendos from the same guy, PS Rotchford Tyres do them for the same price if you have an ebay phobia, and you can preview them on your car, kind of) Thier photos are good too to get a better idea of what they look like.

you be ok on a marea, pm bushboy he selling these wheels now at bargain price

thanks for that,,,so if i am ok with the 17's maybe I can have 18's???

no, that's just being silly. (not to mention the huge price increase fo only an extra inch) :idea:

hello, 205 and 215/40/17 are fine on marea and it keeps the exact same rolling radius
