Bro needs some new tyres for the front, he is sitting on 17's, 8J wide I do believe.
ATM the tyres on there are 215/40/17 IIRC...would you guys change the profile or stick with it? They have a nice lickle stretch :smiley: and he is on collies so can raise up and down if needs be...Just the tyre profile I'm thinking about :undecided:
-
I would only go to 205/40, if he goes down to a 35 profile it will very uncomfortable IMO
-
dont go to 35 profile unless you have a titanium spine.

Ha!
I was actually thinking go up just to help fill out the arches, being 17's n all or is 40 a standard profile size? :undecided:
