A few people have done it.

There was another thread last week on exactly the same question if you do a search.

Look like it needs lowering even more with them on. If you buy a set off an Octy owner bear in mind you will have to change the tyres as the 50 profile fitted on the octy will rub on the arches.

They are fairly difficult to find, but they do come up on here from time to time

After selling the 205.50.17's and putting on the correct 205.40.17's the net cost to you will be about Ł200-Ł300 if you sell the Furby wheels

They can go straight on by the way, and only the rear left rubs if you leave the Octy tyres on, but the speedo will be out a fair bit

Its up on the forecourt for Ł11,795, quite deliberate as we can't afford to sell it, we cant get another until Feb next year!
