14s were stock Mick :-P

I've got 15x5.5s and 185/55 rubber...no problems at all. I'm about to put 195/50s on the back, then try running wider rubber still. 205s in the correct ratio are supposed to fit AOK.

Does anyone have a photo of a 300 with these 14' wheels from a 440?

Somewhere in the vast collection I have such a picture, but locating it is another issue, I'll see what I can do, I seem to think it was a white car from the side and quite a poor pic, but gives the idea.

Yeah I have a pic of one with them alloys too - I think Pete sent it me in the first place, but its on my other hard disk in my old PC!

195/50s are fine on my rims, I think I might even consider 205's next time round.

You're welcome mate! From your photoshop thread I think they'd look better in the graphite colour too, something to change the look, however they look a bit hubcappish! However they do suit the 300 better than the 400!

Bone stock...just probably with mildly sagged springs.

Very true, but there were hardly likely to be any rubbing problems with them being a stock size...it was a pretty safe buy! :)

Everything under 17inches is for girly-men... Hehe :P

But seriously, the car looks GREAT with 17 inch wheels.. i think that the 13/14" is to small.. I'll settle for 15inch 440 winter-rims to the winter.. :)

Joking aside, Al used to have 17s on his first black 360, and it looked pretty sweet...
