The suggestion in using 17 x 8J wheels is something that I have always been thinking, but from what I saw, everyone's setup are still seems to be using 205 tyres (same as original 15' spec) and I don't seem to find anyone who had ever fitted something wider (i.e. 215 or 225), some said you will need to modify and roll the front fender to avoid rubbing with wider tires setup, this really bugs me
I have 215/40/17 tyres on my 17 inch wheels but my Saff has been lowered by 35mm so all arches have been rolled. If you have standard height suspension you probably won't have to roll the arches. You slightly confuse me. If you want to keep your Saff standard including engine, suspension etc you really will not need to upgrade the standard brakes or wheels and tyres as the original Ford set up should be able to cope with the standard power. Having a standard Saff has never been of any interest to me so I have modified mine to cope with the 450 bhp it produces.It's personal choice, a lot of owners want to keep everything standard and others like to modify their cars.
