    Vectra B with Vectra C SRI wheels.

    I just picked up a Vec B sri with the 17" Vectra C sri wheels. Only issue is they have 215/50/17 tyres which are rubbing on the arch and causing the paint to start flaking, any idea whats the best tyres to run on these wheels or is anybody looking for a set they are looking to swap for something different?

    -30 or-40mm on quality matching shocks and springs is your best bet for ride quality, looks and handling.

    On a VECTRA b gsi the tyre size is 215/45/17, the ride will be hard and bone shaking regardless with such a low profile tyre and shorter springs and shocks, it's par for the course I'm afraid
