Chunky
Any ideas on width and et?
No rubbing at all?

Looks fantastic!!!!
8.58% higher gearing than OE, be careful of your speed unless you've recalibrated your speedometer, which will now read low.

Does the door clear them ok when opening?

Any extra road noise...

Hi,

Wheels 17 x 8
PCD 5 x120

Only driven 60 miles so far but no rubbing or any other issues seen so far.
Rear doors clear the tyres. Once fully open and settled it is very close and almost touching the soundproofing.
Noise wise I was worried but after 60 miles, motorway and A-roads I would say they are definitely on par with my 20s, so pretty happy.

Thanks for the tip on speed, I will check this but go careful until I am sure.

Websites I used when I was doing my research, may help anyone else looking into changing wheels and tyre size.were:

In my experience, they will harden and get noisier after a couple of thousand miles.

Thanks, Loz. I was prepared for them to be noisier as in the main that is what I have heard
But wait and see what happens
