your wasting your time fitting 235 slicks on your rst , you will get serious tyre roll as the slicks will be too wide for a 7"j or 7.5"j wheel
what profile are your slicks 61 or 62 ?
you will need 19/61-17 or 20/61-17 or 21/61/62-17 these should be fine

Trailer was fine...
The car is still to wide, but narrower wheels and tyres have sorted the loading problem...
The only thing thats wrong with the car at the moment is that I've blown the gearbox... a mere 100 years of low boost running, and you RST boys think you have transmission problems!!!!! But I am building a couple of new ones at the moment
Maybe I ought to go for a touch more power, that vvc engine sounds nice!
What date Martin?!!?

the ideal size for your application will be 200/580/15.
std fit was 195/50/15
195 width mm
50 % side wall height (576mm O/A diameter)
15 rim size
200 width mm
580 O/A rim diameter
15 rim size
240/610/17 will be 30mm greater diameter for a start plus you will need at least an 8" wide rim IMHO

they are defo to wide for your wheels.....send them back and ask for 190/610/ 17 or 190/620-17 or 200/610-17....
so basically any 610/620 profile will be fine with 190/200/210 don't go no wider than this because they will be too wide
just trying to help
