Just bought some rs 7 spokes for my 4x4 saff they are 35 offset and was wanting to put 215/40 tyres on does anyone know if they will catch?

jason_nike

I run 215 tyres on my 17" rs 7 spokes, car is lowered 30mm, no scrubbing at all as long as you use stiffer springs

mcbernie

got 205's on mine, but im going for a set of 215's when ive got an engine built.

if its 2wd 215 front 225 on the back

mcbernie

225 that sounds more like it

Mine are 215's on a 4x4 lowered 35mm koni shocks and springs and I had to have the front arches rolled due to scrubbing.

Out of interest how much did you pay? I've seen some weird posts on here recently saying they now command upwards of Ł700

i got 5 wheels 2 with good 205 40 17 tyres for 400! off ebay.

mcbernie

mine were on the car when i purchased

jason_nike

I bought 2 mint sets 2 years ago for Ł750, bargain!!!

7 spokes are the definitive Saff look IMO, don't care how many have them now, they look SOOOO hard


Saying that I'm on Super T's.

Gone for 215 40s got them on and they do rub slightly on the front wings! knocked the lip back as far as i can for know but going to get them rolled asap.Will post up pics soon.

Hi, Gary,
I know that is OK with 215x40x16, it is my equipment now (front and rear Toyo)

But with 225x45x16 ?

40 profile is better to avoid scrubbing. 225 could be tight also.
I used to have 205/40/16 on Escort Cossie wheels on a 4x4 Cossie which is lowered 30mm, had no scrubbing

garyrs

hi again, if i was gonna do it i would deff put 40 profiles on , if you need 225 width tyres you must be running a lot of power? bigger tyres will put more strain on the diff ,. just some thing to think about!!! my car was running over 350 bhp and was not to bad with 205 width tyres on, they were good year f1 thou,,... gary

Ive just bought a new set of momo arrows cause my old momo alloys were buckled. The new wheels have 215/40/17s on n they catch on the front a bit.But my old alloys with 205/40/17s were spot on.
