its the weight of the bigger wheel that affects performance, not the circumference | |

yes but in keeping the rolling radius near right, speedo wont be as far out as on 205/40. | |

quote: Can't understand what you mean by performance? The only thing you'll keep is the rolling radius of the wheel, and this has a negligible effect on performance. You'll still lose performance by moving pto a 17" rim due to the increase in size and weight of the alloy, and weight in the Tyre (When the profiles of tyres are reduced the sidewalls are usually beefed up with metal re-enforcement, which bumps up the weight of the tyre). | |

But 195/40/17 is half the difference of a 205/40/17 and would have minimal problems fitting those under the arches. | |

215/35/17 is 0.07% longer circumference than a 195/45/16. | |

quote: Only that the width of the tyre has to go up to keep the aspect ratio on the profile in check. Not sure what the rolling radius is on the "perfect" Corsa wheel, so no idea what a 215/35/17 would be like. | |

quote: Pirelli do a 35 profile on 17s, so I wouldn't rule out a 30 profile... just the width would have to be pretty wide. | |
