For a 1.4 16v...don't get me wrong, they seem to look ok but I had the same size on a V70 a while back and was fine but on this wee thing, seems a bit ott.

Standard wheels? If so yes, due to the 6.5" width that's a bit too small for a 225 section tyre.

The higher models usually run 205/50/17 as standard, can be cheaper to run 215/45/17 though. I ran 235/40/18 when I had my VTS. Got to keep in mind the bigger models can't take 16" wheels due to the size of the brakes. They get quite close. When I had the upgraded brakes the 17" just fitted.

No they're aftermarket I'll get a photo later, they're a kind of multi spoke type but the rims are [%*^#@!] ie meant to polished but somebody's let them go.

What's happening, when I go to put a photo on via editing the screen goes dark and won't let me..
