Tyre Questions

[jetpilot]

Hi guys, have just invested in some proper alloys and was enquiring to see what size tyres the FC crew are running and any probs you might have encountered with larger rear/front tyres.
Cheers

225 fits ok on the rear - 205 on the front ( standard sizes )

if you put spacers on the front you can run 225 .. i think

I am sure some of you guys are running bigger tyres, anyone help!

[TRex]

Well it would help in telling us what wheels you have to start with of course!  :rolleyes:

 Whats the point in me or someone telling you we run this and that width and height etc on our 19\'s...  But you have 15\'s....  :confused:

I have a set of 17", 8.5" wide. Sorry.

on my 8" fronts I have 225s on the 9" rears I have 245s (I know I can run theoretically up to 265s on the rears)

I have 8\' on the ft and 9\'s on the rear. I run 215/45/17 on the Ft and 255/40/17 on the rear with no problems.

The only time it rubbed was when the suspension was too low and that was only on lock. When i mean Low, the tyres where inside the arches. LOW.

8" fronts 215/40/17, 9" rear 245/40/17, used to have 255s at the rear, but anyway, dont have any problems of rubbing at all

Thanks guys, will probably go with some A048R 245\'s on the rear then and still undecided on the fronts.

ouch!!! bit pricey to be running for the rears aint it? plus it wont last you very long either, several thousand miles maybe? i have used toyo t1-s up front before, very good grip initially, but when they get a bit low, its doesnt work so well in the wet, currently have yokohama parada spec 2\'s up front, very good wet and dry grip, and very responsive, as to when they start to get low, i have yet to find out,
