17 inch wheels on a capri

[poloandyb]

Hi guys is anyone running 17's on a capri? Or mk1/2 escort? If so what's it drive like??
I'm asking because I'm in middle of my 385 capri build and using 16's with 245 on the rear and I don't think they'll handle power.
The engine make 503 bhp and I'm putting 150 shot of nos with it
With 17's I can go wider tyre on rear 245s seem to be widest you can go now on 17's

Thanks

I was looking at 15s but because of brakes up front iv been told I can't go lower then 16s so only way is to go up
