boring old tyre question
« on: 27 February 2012, 14:27 »
Hi,  I have 215/45/17 tyres at the moment, Anyone see an issue with fitting 225/45/17?    Its slightly wider, never fitted a wider tyre than standard before.  Been given a set of toyo proxies with 6mm on em  :rolleyes:  :grin:

Should be fine, the rolling radius may be out a little however which might throw the speedo out
