A lot of posts on wheels and tyres. Have a look at the SEARCH function.

Someone has done 20" but it looks awful. Like someone just had to drive an S2000 through the pimple headed ailses of Halfords.

16" and 17" are the norm for a very good reason. ( the car handles better )


Edit - Text speak really is bloody awful isn't it.

I want to go from 16s to 17s on my '99, will this upset the geometry in any way?

Well, rolling radius should be the same, but why not get a geo done anyway. Go for the 04 revised setting and see how you get on
