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

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.

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

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?
