Thanks for replies guys,are 195/40 tyres the tyres id need?

do they defo fit onto standard s2 hubs? I bought some off ebay for mine, but when I offered them up to the hubs they didnt seem to fit correctly. This may be due to them seeing better days though.lol I sold them a week later. Wish I had kept them now :-(

they fit perfectly!

only thing id suggest tho is swapping from wheels bolts to studs.

when i tried my standard bolts in the cossie wheels they seemed like they would go straight through the hole, so i fitted cossie wheel studs to my hubs and used cossie wheel bolts, so i knew that nothing was comeing off.

as for tyres, think you can get away with 205's but i wanted the slightly stretched look and im on coilies so didnt want issues with rubbing, so i fitted 195's. like i said they do stretch a bit, but went on very easily and not had any issues with them at all.

jonnyrsturbo

why would they be illegal?

Yes, give them a ring and ask for "Ghia wheel bolts" for fitting cossie wheels they're about £40 inc postage, bought some not long ago for my mondy wheels. They just have a bigger washer on them.

Just a personal oppinion but I dont like this tyre stretching look, all the euro boys are doing it and I think it looks weird. Each to their own tho!

i have escort cosworth wheels on my S2 which are on 205/40/16 tyres, also has S1 arches to cover the wheels as they are wider, drives fine.

sm

if what ive read is correct, a cars tyres must not pretroude the cars bodywork due to road debris could be flicked up and hit pedestrians, there was a post awhile ago about a vw which had wheels which came out further than the bodywork and he had some probs with the police iirc

lucky my tires dont poke out past the body then lol!
