Ok, I've started looking for after market wheels for the CD as part of the project to improve it's roadholding. I hadn't previously considered 17" wheels before due to the harsh ride which results from the fitment of these. However, since most people at the trackday who had fitted after market wheels chose 17" rims rather than 16" I'm thinking the gains must outweigh the disadvnatages. Right?
What I need to know is how to chose these wheels, I know 17" (diameter) x 7" (width) are the optimum dimensions that will fit into the arches without modification and that I need to fit the wheels to my standard 4-bolt hubs. What other dimensions do I need to know, i.e. bolt spacings, diameter and offsets, i.e. how far car the rim protrude the hub and how "deep" back from the hub can I go?
I hope this makes sense.
BTW, no I don't want Avez A's, I want to be individualistic.
