      Thank you i think i will get Speedline corse 2120 7x17 et 28 with 215 45 17 tyres which will be within 3mm of 15" speedline wheel/tyre circumference so speedo will read the same.

        No problem, 215/45"'s fit really nicely on a 17" x 7 rim, I also use to run a set of super light weight 7x17" ET 30 wheels with 215/45 track day tyres on my S2 and they also fitted really nicely.... It's a much more expensive size than 225/45 which is the only down side.

            I did a lot of mucking about with wheel and tyre size's as I used my S2 on all types of road surface from gravel tracks to motorways, with 17" rim's one can use either a 215/45 or 225/45, one's a little smaller diameter than stock the other is slightly larger.

            In the end I went back to the stock 205/55/16's as I like the wheels and found the car handled great on any surface.
