OK, so using 15x6.5 +50 as the standard rim all round I came up with the following:

Rear 17x10 +40 will extend 54mm wider than stock.
Front 17x9 +38 will extend 44mm wider than stock, and 59mm wider with the 15mm spacers.

The factory track widths are 1591mm front and 1581mm rear. My books all state a wider front track is desirable for handling. I believe track is measured from the centre of each tyre, not the outside edge, however with the spacers I should be bringing the track widths closer to the 10mm wider at the front as in the original specs. Not that much of my car is to original specs...
