I'm looking for a set of 17" or 18" wheels for my Legnum. Preferably with good quality tyres.

Also, just our of interest, do the EVO VII 17" wheels fit the Legnum VR4?

Cheers, by the way what size tyres do you have on your car? Do the wheels protrude out of the arches. Mine is a 1997 model without the wheel arch extensions, do you think this would make any difference. Ideally I'd like to put 235 width tyres on.

Mine's fitted with 235/45ZR17s. I think the extended arches are just plastic extensions on the standard arches, adding only 10mm to the width of the car on each side. The rears are OK but the fronts protrude very slightly so I guess, without the arches, they'll protrude a bit more.

That's interesting. Can the extensions be added to cars that didn't have them to start with? Is it a glue-on or bolt-on affair?

Hmm, dunno. I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know.

Looks like there are two bolts that secure the arches to the underside edges of the metal arches. I'd reckon they're probably stuck down as well and, from experience of similar things on other cars, I'd expect some sticky pads to be there to keep the plastic arches close to the metal all the way round.
