Update with proper pictures.
I ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S007a, in 235 40 (front) and 265 40 (rear). I haven't really had much of a chance to drive the car but immediate impressions are that the ride has improved, particularly over sharp bumps, traction is stronger and the steering feels a bit lighter. Each tyre and wheel is 4.9kg than the standard wheels with the S001 tyres I had before, which is a pretty substantial weight saving.
It took a little while for my Advan centre caps to turn up, so I delayed taking pictures. In these pictures the front also has a 10mm spacer (thanks to Digs) and there have been no clearance issues so far. I love the look but I'll wait to see if handling is compromised.
Now, to the pictures.
