I have at last splashed out on some new 15" 6J Miniltes, which look great, I was concerned as to what tyre size I could use but finally went for the 205/65VR15, they fit perfectly with no problems, my guess is that would be about the biggest tyre you could fit on the Stag in it's standard form.
I had no real problems apart from one of the rear brake drums which had some raised lettering cast into it, this cought on the inside of the wheel and as I was tightening the wheel to the hub, I was also pushing the brake drum on to the back plate, some careful grinding sorted the problem out.
The car handles great, much more precise in corners, stable and quiet on the motorway.
Altogether I am delighted and would recommend anyone who might be thinking of converting to 15" wheels.
