15" wheels and CR500 tyres

Hi, Tim of SSC suggested that I could improve the handling of my car by fitting 15" wheels and CR500 tyres. At present I have Minilite style wheels with Goodyear Eagle 185 R14 tyres. Being a relatively heavy Stylus (766 Kilos), the lower profile CR500's would have stiffer side walls and give a more positive feel. I shall have to look out for some second hand ones. Does anyone know what offset and rim width would be best please and what tyre size? The present 185's have perfect clearance of the arches. One and a half degrees of negative camber were also suggested. Thanks, Paul.

That's really nice of you Andy. If I can make it, will bring a jack, but could still be on holiday. I really like your wheels....if they fit.... :idea: would you like me to give them a 10000 mile road test? 8) ...........no? oh well :( Thanks again and hope to see you on the 20th....looking at the calender...isn't the Liphook meet on the last thursday in the month? or have I lost the plot again? That would make it the 27th. Regards, Paul.
