Very similar but the 17" version is actually an old Compomotive TH that has been given a make over.

As Rainbow says.. 205/40 if 888 or 215/40 in normal road tyres.
What about 225/35 ?????

That size is not made in the 888 range but that size tyre will fit but arch mods would be required.

What brakes would these clear Martin? Would a 6Pot AP caliper and 350mm odd disc go under them?

I would probably be able to sort just two but they are slightly different to yours.. Do you have any better pics of your car with those wheels on?

I would need to get a wheel and measure it as 8x17 MO's don't take 355 6 pot brakes on 4x4 models, 2wd are normally ok though. I would say that 343mm 6 pots would be ok..

I run 8X17 ET40 MO's on my saf with no arch mods and very very little scrubbing.
I use 215/40 tyres on the front and 235/40 on the rear.
They fit over AP CP5555 6 pot calipers and 355 mm discs.
Would think the new wheels would be the same.
Hope this helps answer a few questions.
You need an guniea pig for them Martin
Gold ones maybe?

They are whatever standard monte esc cos offset is. Arches are practically gone all together
Totally shit offset on a saff i hated it. After i got the car i went to check tyre pressures. Fronts were about 18-20psi or something too low. I pumped them back to 30ish and fuck me did they scrub. NOT nice! had to let them back down. Then i got the MO's...Phhhhheeeeewwwwww
