    well i got a 40 profile and its a nice ride.. until the speedhumps hit ya as soon as you hit the first bit if the hump its rough then when your half way up and the back tires get to it theirs no worries... bumps and **** on the street has no affect on the car at all... the thing is with the 17'' wheels you have to choose the right style to match your car... and for mk1' and 2's its verry hard to choose the right ones.. anyways have your say all

    I think the best size wheels are those that are the minimum size required to clear your desired brakes. Everything else is for show. I suppose it really comes down to the philosophy that is guiding the build up of your car. Personally, I think go is more important than show, but each to there own.... I am running et 20 15x 7 (195/45/15 Michelin pilot sports) now. The most forgiving and thrashable combo I have ever had was 205/60/13 (yoko 352,s) on 5.5 alloys. Have had 185/60/14 (yoko A008's) on 14x6), and 195/50/15 (yoko 539). Obviously, I like the yoko's. The main reason racecars have large wheels is to clear their massive brakes. My mate is running 205/40/16's at the moment on 16x7's and it seems to handle quite nicely. Woteva floats your boat i guess....

    About the fuel tank, i remember someone years ago recomending taking it to a radiator place to get flushed. Might be worth a few phone calls Endless.
