What size tyres for 4x4 Saph?
Hi
Just got a set of 17" for my 4x4 Saph, but can't decide what size tyre to go for - 205/40/17 or 215/40/17. What do you guys recommend? Also, I'm thinking of Yoko AVS - anyone recommend anything better? Cheers Boon |
The correct size for 4x4 saph is 215/40/17.

no it´s not standart wheel diameter are
205/50-15...... 1790mm 205/40-17.......1818mm 215/40-17.......1842mm so the closest fit is the 205/40-17 but im driving on 215/40-17 on my sierra and theay fit fine. no problems. and theay are a littlebit softer ride. |
thats strange
I was told by a m8 who is a tyre fitter, and Lepsons when I got my wheels refurbed that the correct size was 215/40/17. |
Cheers,
If the 215/40/17 fit without any probs then I might as well get those. |
both these sizes are correct as the205/215 is the width not the profile so both have same diameter it depends on wheel width you take standard tyre size and take off 5 on profile for every inch bigger
|
i run 215 on my rwd 205 bends the wheels to easy as there is not a lot off tyre and bf goodrich are very good run them on mine
|

205x0,40=82mm high tyre sides 215x0,40=86mm high tyre sides. not mutch i know. and of course 17 are in inches |
Thanks to all for posting..
Upshot seems to be that 215/40/17 fit without problems even though the 205/40/17 is a closer match to the original 205/50/15. I should have said from the off that the car is lowered (about 25mm i think), and the wheelarches haven't been rolled (and i don't want them rolled)... bearing that in mind, 215/40/17 still the size to go for? |
i have 215/40/17 in the summer, and 195/5015 in the winter :top:
Btw. My car is also lowered by yellow Koni's , and Apex (yellow) springs No prob's at all :top: |
