Default new cmax, alloys???

We're getting a new grand cmax (sensible family guy and all that) and the standard wheels are like 5p's!! Anybody know what will fit? I'm hoping to get some black /anthracite focus rs style ones or last shape ST ones but don't know if they'll go under the arches??

19" BBS CH (reps if on a budget) are nice looking wheels, seem to remember seeing them on a VW Caddy and a VW Touran and they looked pretty choice... I know they're different looking cars, but they're high sided and chunky looking so similar-ish to your new whip.


Cheers,
Grant

I think over all it may be a bit decieving. Would of thought they would be a good size for at least 18-19 with no problem.

I love the look of that car! Not had one from work yet. Been getting a lot of S-Max and Galaxy's lately. What the galaxy lacks in looks more than makes up for it in practicality.

Love the rear sliding door on yours though! I'd have one for a family motor just for that!

Went to see it satdee, its awaiting pdi, we've gone for frozen white and it looks sweet. It's ace in the back, nice and high and with a 6 seat configuration everyones got plenty of room. Just needs rims, badly!!! They do have an 18" option in brochure so they must fit, but 19s would be nice. But then would it need lowering?

It would probably need lowering but be sure to check that it doesnt have self leveling shocks. No idea if it does but some ford motors do so shocks would need changing as well if thats the case I think.
