17" wheels dont have rubbing problems on the arches when the car is dropped 40mm either which is good.

Silvia Engineering reccomended 16x6.5 for best overall handling which i think is about right. Lastly with 17s i always use a strutt brace as it made a hell of a diference on my s12 when ive had 17s.
Cheers Pukka! - makes a change for me to be able to answer one, as I'm normally the one bombarding the forum with questions!... lol!
