16's with 40 profile rubber and a 75/50 drop. Its EASY, 16's with 40 profile rubber are fractionally larger than a 15 with 45 profile (bout 7mm in diameter) but its not cheap rubber.

Had 15's - good performance, can go as low as you like...
Had 17's - look mad, worse handling, CANT go as low as you like...
16's are comming... Compromise in handling with one almighty slam...

had
15s excellent,great handling .60mm no probs
17s,very slow heavy steering scuffed down 40mm.
if you get 17s i guarentee you will want 15s again in a few months  go for 16s with 40 profile tyres

Agreed ^ it seems we are just a few of many who are converting to 16's! Burn the 17's, i HATE them - oh yeah and I rolled on a set for a year before ppl start, the ONLY bonus I had with my 17's is that its tricked my odometer into reading less thats it is LOL.
