With 17's you can go 50/50, but you'll need 205/40 tyres (even then I had a touch of scrubbage on full lock).

110mm on 17's is do able without too much hassle.

sorry..all i no is thay are 17inc 205 40 some think like that. like said im new to all this....hope that help in any way mate cheers.....

 

[richie.guy]

Doesn't help.

Offset will be stamped on the wheel somewhere and be a number between 35 and 42. May say ET35 or similar, or just have a number.

You need to answer the offset and wheel width question. We can't help until you do.

Yes the springs should be fine with the standard wheels.

To find out if they work alright with the other wheels we need the wheel width, tyre size and wheel offset as stated.
The offset will be written/stamped on the wheels,
the tyre size will be written on the tyre.
Use this to tell us the wheel width http://www.raceandroad.com/wheelsizes.asp

Once you have worked it out the answer will be simple.

What is stopping you?
