Standard tyres on 17" wheels is 235x45x17 (At least for an Elite / MV6 facelift anyway)

so how much of a difference would it make if they were 215/50/17?is it negligible or would it throw it out a mile?it sits at the moment on 225/55/16.
[/highlight]
it will be 1.1%fast - when speedo reading 60mph you will actually be travelling at 59.3 mph

to clarify, the legal limit of difference is that it must be within 2.5%, so this is fine :y

yup they will fit, i think its 5x110 & the offset you can get away with is 35-45 :y

I just tried some Vectra C 16 inch alloys on my Omega. They seem to sit a bit "in", which would be cured with spacers (illegal I think). About offset /ET figures: Omega steel rims ET 33, 16 inch Omega alloys ET 39 and the Vectra ones ET 41 Funny, how ET39 looks very much better that ET41...

Suitably fitted and approriate hub-centric spacers are not illegal. My car passed its M.O.T. today with them fitted no problems.

They probably didn't know they had been fitted as they aren't allowed to dismantle anything.

Yes they did because I was there the whole time and I pointed them out when he asked about my 19" wheels.

They are defnitely legal; I checked when I bought them.
