Re: Rim question (fluid72)
17 x 7.5 et 35 shod with 205/40R17 tires are the largest that will fit a G60 with unmodified fenders, as long as you aren't too low. The bolt pattern is 4 x 100 as you indicated. SLCs have an additional 10mm of fender, so we can run slightly lower ride heights without problems. That said, I would urge you to go with 16" wheels and 205/45 tires for several reasons:
1) 16" wheels and tires are significantly cheaper than 17s
2) They are usually lighter than 17s
3) They offer less chance of bending from potholes
4) They offer superior ride comfort
5) They look better (I know this is subjective, but the brakes of a Corrado look ridiculous framed by 17" wheels)
If your ride height is significantly lower than stock, you might be wise to choose a 7" wide wheel with an offset of 38mm instead to prevent rubbing at the top. My slammed SLC is experiencing some mutilation of the plastic fender liner from my newly installed 16 X 7.5 et35 BBS RCs. I'll have to trim the fender liners or crank up the coilovers.
