Just ordered some 17" Compomotive TH1781’S for my 3 door sierra cosworth, they are 17x8 / 4x108 / et35.I don't like the stretched look at all & prefer tyres that are flush or even better wider than the wheel to protect the rim. Would much appreciate some advice on tyre size & make of tyre. Many thanks.

unless your arches are already trimmed its tight

i run pilot 4 s on my saff as they have a decent sidewall so visually look a little wider

205/40/17 front and 215/40/17 rear will go on without any issue at all.. problem on 3doors is the front bumper and splitter as some of them the front wheels are close..

i run toyo proxis tr1 i think there are a good tyre for the money like.. falken tyres are ok but i always find them a noisey tyre on motorways etc..

my brother runs goodyear f1 and pirelli pzero there both excellent tyres like..

we run them tyres ive talked about in 205/40/17 and 215/40/17.. i also run toyos in 18s never had any trouble from them and grip is good
