Iirc, 16" rear and 19" front

Personally I just get the biggest that will fit.

Hi Ed.

Do not dispose of your original front blade carriers if you still have them, the pivot is slightly offset and I have never been able to find a modern set of blades which fit correctly without overlapping and wearing the screen seal. I recycle the carrier and insert fresh blades each time...Then you get the correct fit, slightly inset towards centreline of car.

Never seen a blade with an offset pivot. I'd have thought it more likely that the blade is bent and the arm needs to move round 1 spline
