[covlad]

looking to change wheels im on 16" will i get away with 17" or 18" forgot to say its been lowered

18" alloys will fit, but the ride will suffer. How much have you lowered the car by?

it was lowered before i brought it at the moment im on 16" rims tyres are 205 55 16 i think

 

[carat 3.6]

This a bad picture of 18" alloys with the normal ride height, tyres are 225/40/18.

This was a standard 300e with 1 coil cut off all 4 springs, with the same wheels and tyres as the estate above.

And this another bad picture of 18" alloys with the same tyre size on a sportline lowered car.

I think you will get away with 18's so long as you have the correct size tyres.

cheers for that bit of info i was thinking of 18" with 225/40/18

thinking of these rims had a set on my mk2 mondeo 2years ago

You may find those type of wheel a little weak for the weight of the car, might be best to find something more solid. 5 x 112 is the pcd you need.
