These look proper nice...

Would they fit straight on. Might purchase if they do.

Slight problem as they have the same tyre profile as mine back and front but are an inch bigger. Not 100% if they would clear, the safety implications of increasing the rolling diametre of the wheels and how this would allow me to know my speed accurately?

Or is this a really dense idea of mine and I should maybe stick to an 18inch wheel.
 
If they were shinney I would not mind them myself...

That would bring the total sets of wheels on my Car since I have owned it to 4

Not sure Mrs A210 would approve of another change... and 19" tyres of a good make I guess at least £150 each?

30 profile also... I've had a car on 19's and too be fair it was ok... but I only do 6K miles a yr..
 
wont fit straight on due to offsets being very different, 19`s do look nice tho :)
 
That solves that then :)

I would not want spacers or phaffing around with settings...

Insurance is ok with going from 16" to my 18" sports as they are original MB. Not sure on after market ones.
 
They look proper mint but if they won't fit thats that....

I checked my tyre tread. Down to 4mm and at the rate I drive/tour, and the way I drive, thats not very long before I really ought to change them. If I haven't found an acceptable replacement wheel and tyres on the used market, I will refurb mine and shove new tyres on....

Ride, not ****ed really. Its a very comfortable car compared to other cars I have driven. Once its like my cousins ex Impreza, then I know its uncomfortable.

With the drop in height, the 18's do look nice and not weedy at all, just that these were at a tempting price with decent tyres too, cheaper than replacing the tyres I have.
