17'' wheels on a spider

[kevinscanlan]

Has anyone put a set of 17'' wheels on there spider if so what width and offset were you able to fit and what rubber size did you go with.

I saw a spider with 17 inch Toora's where I bought my wheels,looked great but the vendor REALLY recomended 15 inch for my car.I believe he mentioned depending on the tire size,you might get wheel rub on the fronts. Perhaps the offset might correct this though. He mentioned with the 15 inch, I can have a tire that will have a bit of sidewall and the ride would not be as harsh. I think my 205/55 15" give me a height of around 27 inches,really close to the stock with the 13 wheels and higher profile tires. I had checked the speed with another car and was pretty much spot on.

I've seen two Spiders with 17s and thought they looked horrible. Both owners switched to smaller wheels in a very short time

Why not compromise and go with 16"? Anyone using those?

T oanswer myself, YES!!! Here's a page full of 16" Spiders for future reference.
