E85 Alloy Wheels.

Post by A2KVU » Tue Jun 08, 2021 8:32 pm

I am looking at purchasing this 2004 2.2 SE.
I would like to change the wheels for the 18” ones in the photo - would really appreciate any pointers as to if this is possible or any potential problems?

Can't see any issues with these (MV3s) on a 2.2se , wheels will fit better in the arches than stock ones , if you do need tyres then consider 245 40 18 on the rears
