Tyre Sizes for Spiders

Featured Replies

Pretty job question as I'm pretty sure everyone uses 205/40/17's but just to make sure, what's the best tyre size to use if I'm lowered on AP S&S a supposed 25mm drop from standard?

Thanks

Heard of some using 225/40/17s I'm on 205's. Someone will be along with AP's to let you know more shortly. :)

I'm on AP's and am running 215/40/17 on spiders...

no rubbing or anything I take it rob? I am of course assuming a wider tyre allows more grip so should be better?

no mate, all good!

Not necessarily better grip, as the width of the tyre should match the width of the alloy ideally.

A 215/40 will have a taller sidewall than a 205/40, so will be a slighter softer ride, but worth checking out how far out your speedo will be.
