Comet alloy wheels

chelle_belle · Aug 22nd, 2018, 18:35

Hi all,

Would 17 inch comet alloy wheels fit straight on to a standard 850 t5, i am running 16 inch columbias at present with 205,50 16 tyres, for the comets i would like to run 205,50 17 tyres would this be possible or what size tyre should they take?

Thanks, Craig

Don't know how the wheels would fit but you'd need to go to 205/45 17 tyres to keep the overall size of the wheel and tyre about the same. 205/50 would make the overall size bigger which might give clearance issues and would put your speedo out.

I believe so, providing they are 7J and not 7.
5s as per the C70 ones.
