Thanks!
The rims are 17's, but look a bit bigger. They were really just bought to get it on its wheels after doing the 5-bolt conversion. Front brakes are FD so I think I need at least 16" to clear them.

i like 17s too i just prefer deep dish 15s if i get another fb i'll put 17s and TRY to keep the rest stock.
people across the pond like big wheels on there cars. you usually see stock body cars with big wheels, sometimes they have lip kit or front airdams. it's your car you personalization.

The problem with 17 inch rims is that they are heavier than they need to be and the super stiff sidewalls don't match up with the flexy chassis. I'm not going to comment on the aesthetics 'cause that isn't any of my business.

OMP "WRC" Racing Seats
OMP 4-point harnesses
OMP "WRC" steering wheel
GReddy gauges, boost, oil press, oil temp, water temp and fuel press.
Switches in the center console is Cooling Fan On/Off (ecu override), Boost Select (boost controlled by Autronic ECU) and Launch Control (also by Autronic ECU).

18" on a stock volvo 240 is a common sight here.
