215/45 17 too big for Fabia.

Which Fabia?

I've got these to fit on my gigaro 17" - Seems like a good deal to me too for the 595 RS-R's

Apologies! Seen it was 16s you are talking about! 

215/45/16 is fine for Fabia

215/40/17 is fine for Fabia

215/45/17 is too big

I am looking at either 16 or 17 depending on what comes out best costwise.

Ideally track wheels would go on my 16"spares, if Road legals I could run them on my Gigaro's for summer and leave my Winters on the spares to run 5 or so months a year.

I got my Federals from Demon Tweeks, had them fitted to 17" wheels so I could use 225-45-17, not ideal as the profile could be lower for track BUT the price difference was good enough to choose the higher profile, tyres were about £85 each. They also fitted them, balanced etc and did all wheel alignment for me.

 Just been back today for two tyres for my lads lupo, Toyo T1-R's for £57 each fitted 

 

 

 BTW Sparkly, I will doing the deed tomorrow and your goods will be available for dropping off later in the week. 

I buy my tyres from camskill. Always the cheapest i can find. I just bought 2 yokohama ad08s a couple of weeks ago and will be putting on another 2 this month . I dont use them on a track just like to know i have good grip if and when i need it

They do grip well just as long as they're warmed up

Another option for you track day junkies is second hand slicks. Only problem is you'll need a roll cage. You won't be allowed to run slicks without one. 

Even worn second hand slicks are in a different league to road legal track tyres. 

Your car will need to be in top condition as slicks put a lot of strain on the chassis due to the grip levels.
