gavinvr6 0 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 if the price is that good, buy em try emon if you dont like em ebay em for a profit they'll fit but them tyres are to big. 40 profile's on 17 inch rim's, go down 1 profile for every inch increase in wheel size. to maintain a balance of the overall rolling radius. plus 205's would be better, and cheaper. 195's for a little stretchy look but 215's are a little wide especially if your lowered or planning on lowering it Link to post Share on other sites
probert993 0 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 so will i be ok to roll with them then without any nasty problems?? To be honest my nice wheels are going into storage for winter these were only for the winter months!!four wheels with tyres 4mm tread on each for £130 didnt think was bad , but you reckon they will fit then?

probert993 0 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 car is lowered about 30 mm all round bilstein shocks and springs Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 It will rub. Ideally you need 205/40/17! Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 if your 30mm lower then yes they will rub. last thing you need is the tyre catching a sharp spot at 70mph and sticking you into the armco mate. Link to post Share on other sites
