been offered some 17" BBS RC off my mate, nicked two from him to give them a try.

if i decided to put them on i'll be using my tires with a bigger profile, as well as spacers and refurbing them.

whats people opinions?

With spacers I think they would look fine, they look lost in those arches at the minute though.

Along the right lines, but as said, they look too small.

Might look quite odd with a high profile tyre too.

I'd leave them.

i love rc's, but i reckon you'll only pull off 17s with very low profile tyres, spacers and a healthy dose of lowering

Needs to be lowered, even with more profile tyres

you'll be wanting coilovers then

a higher profile tyre will not look better in my opinion, just make the wheel look smaller.

they look like they should be an inch or two bigger. done a quick shop with it on 18s, rear spaced and lowered slightly. the bigger wheel sits alot nicer in the arch
