best wheel size for a 172

[sadam]

When up grading from the standard wheels whats the best wheel size for a 172 mk2 to maintain the handling and ride? Are 17 inch too big? Also any tips on which tyre suits the car best would also be useful.

16'' are reputedly the best. I have just fitted a set of Cup Turinis to my 172 and the increased track gives much improved turn in. These are 16's. Fred is selling a set refurbed in Tropht grey I think.

15's are the way forward.

Shameless plug!

17s for show, 15s/16s for go.

On a mk2, 16"s.

s/b 195, but better to upgrade to 205's...
