40mm waste of time IMO. Doesn't look different atall. 60mm is perfect, cyclones sit perfect in the arch with the 60mm. Then knock the back down to about 50mm and it will look sweet

30mm will leave your clones nicely in the arch if you are on 55 profile tyres. If you are on 50 profile, I would go 40mm to get the same effect
