I have news for you, if you fitted the correct tyres the wheels are exactly the same overall diameter as the 16s. 255/65/16, 255/55/18, 255/50/19 and 255/45/20 are all the same. They will all fill the wheel arch equally.

Yes, we know but the larger rim plays an optical trick, you can go too far though, 20's look wrong, 22's are hideous,

Yes they do, My lad gave me some 19s with good tyres off his L322 Vogue. As my two front 16s were getting ready for replacement i fitted the 19s for £70.00 worth of nuts. Instead of £200.00 plus for new boots. They look aesthetically a lot more balanced.
Thanks, I stand corrected. I think the tyres on my 16s where totally wrong hence the raised Beach Buggy comment

beware 20" sport or s/c alloys run 275/40/20 which is a different rolling radius to a p38 16" or 18" or l322 18" ,19" & 20"
