I still think machine them, or sell me them for the S1 cheap :D

 

Yeh I considered this but then the spokes might foul the calliper and id need temp wheels in the mean time and im not sure im that fond of the rim. If you sourced me RS7s in 16s for then than you think my cossies are worth I would ask for the different :)

 

If I dont end up doing a swap ill let you know when they are for sale.

 

The 17" versions definately fit as I have some on mine with 300mm brakes

 

Noted from sig, you lowered at all? Any scrubbing with the larger wheel?

 

Mine is on 60mm drop, and no scrubbing at all

 

I had some 16" ones but tbh cant remember who I sold them to on here

 

What tyre size you running?

 

Are, out of interest, would a 195 40 r17 be the same circumference-ish as 195 45 r16? If I fitted a 17 I wouldnt want the height of the car to rise.

 

Just used the tyre calculator, only a 6mm difference in the above, so a 3mm rise? Probably not noticable if I went 17s
