Hubby has a set like this, i tryed them on mine.
they were only 18's with stock sport profile tyres.Did try with 35 profile as hubby has them on his van. Still didnt look right to me.
I cant go 20" as car is daily family car and live in pothole capital.

I agree with you that 18's didn't fit. But i think 20's with 245/35 or 255/35 could work.

Just hope i receive my lowering spring seats soon. S-line just dont cut it in the front=(

Yeah, and reguarding pothole capital. Try driving in Norway, regardless of what kind of ride you have sometimes it's actually better to drive on the crop fields next to the road than the road it self :P
