   Well seeing as 15s use 45 profile I highly doubt 17s on a 45 will fit!
   
   I put some 16s on a 40 on my car to see what they looked like, and they were too big looked shit.

   My Saxo was lowered 40mm with 16's on and the tyres were 45 profile. It wont be easy to get 17/45's on. imo 17's are way to big same with 16's. I put 16's on mine because the lip makes it look smaller. Also the ride will be terrible.
   
   imagine what it would look like dropped another 10mm and and inch bigger wheels and the tyre profile will be the same

    I have got 16's on mine at the minute, but getting some 15's alloys next week. I find the ride quite hard running 16's due to the 40 tyre, so hopefully 15's with a 45 tyre will bit a little more comfortable.

    This is the only 106/Saxo that looks good on 17s and he's running 185/35/R17 tyres which aren't cheap but do give the closest rolling radius to standard wheels and tyres.

    Are you seriously looking at paying £thousands for a set of wheels for a VTS?
    
    You are an idiot

    You for wanting some chavvy alloys, not being able to speak in english, double posting and spending the value of your car on the wheels.

    Just feel like being a bit of a cnut
    
    Hope you don't take me seriously.
    
    But back on to topic, those wheels are not nice, and not worth the price they cost, look for some 2nd hand / refurbished ones!
