Got a set of 8X17 RL7's ET38 for my cossie.
Just wondering, what's the widest sized tyres i can put on the rear.
Car is a 4x4 saff. lowered and running Bilstein dampers all round.

Cheers,

Paul.

DOO

I got 225 on mine no probs. got a mate running 235/40 17ins on a 2wd saff

DOO,
I know that that the rouse has rolled arches to fit the 225's but has your mate had to do his as well?
Dose it effect the handling at all having wider tyres on the rear?

cheers,

Paul

Ginge !

i got 235/45/17s on the back of me saph but thats cause its 2WD, i had to roll the arches and also fit caravan assiter springs to the rear to helop reduce the squat

but 4wd i cant see going sideways as much a problem

I know, i know, 4x4 dose sound a bit but they do go sideways if you push them hard enough when they are running stg 3.
Honest they do

Ginge !

check ya bushes then

remember that the larger surface area for tyres are worse when wet rather than better

Bushes are fine, running a GP-N beam mounting kit (nylon thingies). on my 3rd rear prop though

Might go for 225's as that sounds like a decent compromise

boost mad, I got 215/40 17's on my 2wd and they rub with passengers in the back

Ginge !

thats cause there 40 profile, 45 profile is alot bigger, ill take some pics of my shed in a moment and show ya
