how can you tell how wide your alloys are

as i want to put wider rubber on the rear

they are 17" CMS alloys fitted in Japan with 235's at the rear

std alloys in japan are 8" i think and UK was 8.5

whats the widest i can go on these widths

can i just measure the width of the wheel?

Hi Cadpaul

 

It should say on the wheel somewhere ?? J 17 (the ?? being the width).

 

Stock J-spec wheels are 7.5 wide all round, but stock UK are 7.5 front and 8.5 rear.

 

If you have 17s then they won't be stock sizes as they 16sw ere originally fitted.

 

if you're runnung 8.5 wide then 255 is probably the widest tyre - say

255/40/17.

But if they are only 8 inches wide then go 225/24/17 front and 245/40/17 rear.
