Folks, thanks ...

My existing 17" wheels are 50 mm front and 52 mm rear offsets for the 2002 S

According to a few publications they suggested a combination of:

7.5 x 18 (ET50) 225/40 ZR 19 & 9 x18 (ET52) 265/35 ZR 18

or

9 x 19 (ET 52) 225/40 ZR 18 & 10 x 18 (ET 65) 265/35 ZR 18

The ones for sale are 7.5 x 18 (ET 50) and the rears 10 x 18 (ET 65) which would place them at either end of the recommendations.

Factory manual suggests 7.5 x 18 (50 mm) and 9 x 18 (52 mm).

The car is a stock 2002 S with 17" twists ...
