Getting a little confused, I was going to go the same as MADAde with 205/40' on the front and 215/45's on the rear, but in the end went for 215's on the front as I didn't want a lot of stretch but there still is / so was thinking if I went for 215's on the rear I'd get stretch again but would the higher profile of 45's reduce that more?

This was yokohama prada's on the front but am I right in thinking it depends on the make of tyre? As toyo's seem to come up wider than the actual width quoted?

So should I look at 225's? I have 235' s at the mo but look like tractor tyres tbh, these are old yokohama a520's I think still with a 40 profile but I don't really like how they look, I'll get a pic in a mo.

This is for a 2wd saph btw, so wanted wider rears for grip obviously.

Can anybody get pics up of there and state the tyre sizes pretty please?

mine -

 

Not the closest pic pal, mine 8"-17"

215 /40/17s

Don't look stretched at all tbh

 

Cheers, staffi can always count on you for any excuse to get a pic up!! ;op

what make are they?

 

215x40 kuhmo ku31s on the front and 235x40 hankook evo v12s on the rear.
thats at et 34 on the front with rolled arches and et40 on the rear with the lip cut back a bit snd a 6degree beam

 

Mine on 215/40/17 comps....although personaly i prefer 205/40s tbh

 

Cheers lads

 

I know my 3dr didn't like 205/40 front and 235/40 rear so on the new wheels i went for same rear but 215/40

 

I have 8" wide comps with 215 Dunlop tyres on and they are stretched so I am getting 235 , as my brothers evo has 235 on its 8" wheels and look right , whats the point in fitting wider wheels if your not using wider tyres ?

 

I'm using 223 35 17 and the fit is bang on on 8j rims and are almost the same rolling circumference as a 205 50 15

 

225's you mean matt?

 

nope 235

wrong matt lol

 

I ran 235/40/17 on the back of my Saph, I actually prefered the look tbh.

 

Yeah sorry 225 is what I've got on mine all round

 

This'll be my choice next time.

 

iv got 245/35/17 on the rear and 215/40/17 on the front
