Hi,
i have bought these wheels for the GTV6. Thought it share and ask if using 215/45/17 F and 235/45/17 R would work. Offset is 35mm and they are 17"x7.5".

Hi 'Fettish

wheels look good - never seen that style before - should really suit the car. As per posts on the ARBB, mine are also 17 x 7.5 running 215/40 all round and they don't rub. Offset is 38 though. Don't know if that small diff is a problem - yours will sit further out and might be a bit closer to rubbing on the outside of the guards on turn at the front and maybe the guard lip a the back on bump with those bigger tyres (this usually hits at the front and bends the guard edge down

) only one way to find out!

PS My first post - this board looks great!

Thanks man, maybe I should try 215s firstly. I think they're a nice design and they're less unusual in real life. one way to find out is right.
Thanks.
Have you any pics of your car?

don't have any close ups of the wheels, but this pic at Morgan Park at Warwick shows how they sit in the guards pretty well

found another, probably better for showing clearance

Of course, I've talked to you before about them. They look great.

225's will rub for sure in the rear. I tried, went straight back to tyre guy and traded them in.

Now 215 all round.

Wheels look very nice Fettish

Hey gtv27, what size rims you rolling on...?

But yeah, 17's, plenty of clearance

Congrats on wheels.
