Wheels

**craigmerry** · 24th January 2008, 21:47

Picked my vectra up, amazing compared to that french thing i had. I want some new wheels now though. Been thinking about getting some 17" manik's from bsa. I was just wondering wether these would fit ok ? What size tyres to fit ? And wether the ride would be affected much ? Thanks for any help

ride difference between 16's and 17's is minimal...tyres?..225/45R17's will be cheap and give you a wide choice..

..as long as the wheels are 110x5 and have an ET of 40 to 35 they will fit fine..

Hi, I have a set of alloys off my 02 Elite with tyres on, pm if you're interested

Not going to be getting the wheels until april probably, was really after some 5 spokes. The ones on the elite look good though, what size are they ?

Is that cos you got some new snowflakes m8? Only a rumour

the rumour is already spreading the news eh??? :-))) no m8, I already have brand new 18" Irmscher Evo stars on my Elite, the Elite wheels are just dust collecting at the moment so I thought I'll flog them if someone wants them for upgrade.

They are 17" with the 215/50 WR 17s tyres on, 2 of them will need changing soon the other 2 will last for a while. One is virtually new with couple of thousands miles only. hope this helps.
