Hi, I know you guy's can help me out with a little problem i have with tyre size's. The reason im asking is that i have just won some wheels off ebay(seen them at the last minute!!). The wheels are described as 6 spoke RS 306, split rims 8 x 17". PCD 5 X 114.3, ET +31. What do you think i should go for??. Also will this now create a bigger gap between the tyre and wing meaning i have to lower the car :confused:

 

thanks evry1

If you're running 8 inch wide wheels, I wouldn't go over 245 wide tyres.

 

Try 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear.

 

They are direct upsizes from stock so will fill the arches the same.

Hi mate,

 

If you have an import, stock rims are 7.5 wide all round with 225/50/16.

 

UK cars have 7.5 wide fronts (same tyre size as J-spec) and 8.5 wide rears with 245/45/16 tyres.

 

So your new ones are smack between the two ;)

Ive spoke to the guy who sold them to me and he said he had 255 on the rear. Do you think this is right??

Hi mate

 

255 is only 1cm wider than 245 so it should be ok.

 

I used to have 245s on 7.5 wide wheels on my Supra and I had no problems.

 

Richard ;)

Sounds about right to me mate. Prob get 275 on.

 

cheerz, mickey

When i go wider will that mean i have to go thinner?? Just that i haven't got the funds for lowering at the mo and i don't want it to look like a micra :eek:

 

Cheers Jonce

I have 275/35/ 18 on the rears of mine with stock suspension. Looks ok to me, not 4x4 ish.

 

 

I could have it any lower around where i live anyway :( , Bloody speed humps
