Default New 17" Compomotive wheel...Being cast tomorrow :-)



8x17 ... Available in various offsets but this a probably most suited to Sierra Cosworth and fwd models at £810 for a set of four in any available colour inc vat & delivery. I have 60 on order so place your order now to avoid disappointment!!

Very nice. Shame they dont come in 7.5 x 17 to fit the front of a saff without arch mods.

With 215 tyres arch mods might not be required.

I thought you wouldnt recommend me the 888 in 215 fitment on 7.5x17 let alone an 8x17 because they would scrub?

Is anyone good with Photoshop to see how they look on a saff?

The 17" 215 888 tyre is 45 profile, hence my recommendation!!! On a 7.5" rim use a 205/40x17 888 with no problemo.. Toyo do say that the 205/40 will fit rim sizes 7-8" so they could be used on the new rim too..

Rich,
You would have to use the 205/40x17 R888, which Toyo say can go on a 7" to 8" rim .
