Ok I know there are loads of reasons not to go above 17" on a VX but what is the largest size anyone has fitted to a VX without having to cut the bodywork and also do Lotus wheels fit on a VX.
Would These Fit

I've now got them wheels on my car, spacers fitted front to clear the caliper and rear to clear the dampers.
The front is pretty much the same O/A diameter as the original 17 inch wheels, the rears are obviously slightly bigger
