Mk2 ZS alloys are 7.5Jx17" use the same tyre, 205/45x17, I think MGR should have spec'd these tyres for lesser models and kept the 7.5J wheels and a spec'd a 225 tyre for the 180.
Yup, I'd agree... 215 at a minimum, 205 always looks too stretched (IMO of course!)

To put it into perspective, my 6.5Jx16 Gridspokes use 205 tyres
