Gents,

As many of you will be aware the standard 16" mags on the mighty AWD magnarati's have this uncanny ability to chew through the outer wall/tread of the standard 215/60/r16.

I am personally a little tired of this and figured after 2 hours trolling through the forum and coming up with 2/10th of bugger all I would just ask the direct question.

When these fine characters upgrade there wheels to rubberband status where do the standard OEM 17" wheels go.

I am not looking for some performance boost or anything of that nature, its a family sedan that is chewing tyres and I want to remove this problem while maintaining a "STOCK" appearance.

I guess simply, where do I start looking and what are my options I assume there are only so many 17" variations?

Is there a "bang for buck" in terms of OD, width and general market availability on both rims and tyres?

And finally I want to be able to throw the spare mag in the boot.

any advise or direction appreciated.
