Has anyone got any experience of these wheels? I am considering getting a white set for my FL blue two.

Questions.....

PCD is 4x100?
They are available in offset 37-42 on the 16's and 35-40 on the 15's. What is the factory offset
They are 7 inch wheels. Would that work OK on the front with no rubbing?
What tyre size would you go for on the front? I had 195/50r15 on the old silver one to use PS3 tyres. I guess thats really the minimum on a 7 inch wheel. Would like to stick with it as PS3 isnt available in 205 in the 15 inch. Would that be an issue?

Here is a complete thread discussing wheels/ types and sizes that should help.
The PCD 100 is factual.

A fair amount of your questions can be answered if you just use Google.
And this:- https://www.willtheyfit.com/

195 on a 7"....agree.  185 does not extend beyond the rim, so no wheel rim protection & it also doesn't look good. (IMO)
There's historical info about people trying 205 on the front, & it loses steering feel.  Bigger still...muppet territory. (again, IMO)
O/E offset is 45.

Both of your suggested offsets will fit I'd think since the tyre sizes aren't stupid.  If there's a wide range available then in theory changing each end by the same amount might be best?

Thanks both. I lost the will to live on the wheels thread with all the talk of 17s all round etc

OK so if I go for

4x100

Front - 15x7 with 40 offset and 195/50r15 MPS3

Rear - 16x7 with 40 offset and 215/45r16 MPS3

I guess that will mean the wheels will sit 5mm closer to the arch.

That would work I guess without rubbing?

Use the Fit website for o/e front & your suggested wheel/tyre.... ;)

Call the midlife!

What you need to keep in mind is pretty much ALL the information on here and elsewhere about wheel choice is subjective, unless it's backed up with empirical evidence or just plain physical limitations.
You also need to look at the rest of your set up, any other modifications such as lowered/stiffened suspension which will have an effect on how well anything other than OEM will fit.
60% of the time it works everytime...

Yeah. Everything else is standard. I have just replaced the whole suspension and braking system with the standard kit.

Looking at the link above the setup I have suggested will change things by a few millimetres so I guess that should be fine. I want to keep it as close to original spec as possible which is why I'm not interested in 16s on the front etc
