obv its different on a b to a c, but damn those tyres are thin for 17s, mind you looks ace in pics, most go for 225s as they are cheaper than 215s. 205 may give a bit stretch

I was going to say i dont think those tyres are the right size for a Vectra? I it should be something a bit chunkier like a 215/45, if you hit a pot hole with the 40s on its going to wreck your wheels really easily due to the small profile on a heavy car.
Wheels look ace though

due to stu having dogs wives and kids i believe? id prefer to have bigger profile tyres, say 225 45 17's as it will be far more comfortable, handle better and generally be safer in a family vehicle.

stu understandable if theyre that cheap and your skint... just saying on a vectra 45 wall looks best on 17s due to the arch size
