Bit of an all-in-one thread, bare with me.

It's that time again for new tyres and given I'm planning on new wheels anyway, it'd seem best to go for new wheels and tyres all at once, rather than buying a set of rubber now, then another for the new wheels down the line.

Here's the deal.
- It's damn hard to find any wheels I like with a 5x108 PCD
- Most of ones I do like are hella expensive
- The ones that aren't expensive are either 9.5" wide or the wrong PCD...or both

I seem to see some people running 9" - 9.5" at the rear, but I don't see anyone running more than an 8.5" up front.
So what's the most wheel you can fit under a C30? Without ripping the fender lining out of course.

Alternatively, there's the option of changing the bolt pattern. Spacer adapters are around, but i'm not sure how I feel about them. Some say don't, some say they're fine.

Should serve as a good thread for anyone else looking at wheels for P1 cars anyway.

Cheers
Deal with one of the factory locust or Volvo rimps like the rest of us :-)
There isn't much available

Where's the fun in that?
I like being difficult lol

I've just found a C30 that's running the Rotas I'm looking at. It's on bags and appears to be running the standard Grids at the front, which would fit absolutely no problem (18x8.5 +42 5x108), whilst it's running the 9.5" Grid R at the back.




Is there more room at the rear, because that seems to be the case?
The Grid R is only 9.5" wide and only 5x114.3. So if there's plenty of room at the back an adapter to the wheel's PCD could be an option. Makes thing easier.
I have a set of 18x8.5 Rotas for sale in 5x108.
