I’ve checked the search function and my enquiry doesn’t seem to have been answered. My lad purchased a set of TT Ronals yesterday with 225/45/17s and has complained of rubbing in one rear wheel and a 3 finger gap on 3 but only a 2 finger gap on one. I understand that profile may be too large and they need to be 205 or 215, but if I fit a Stance+ coilovers setup will  he still be in the same boat or could he run it at standard height without the sagging corner and the lower it once he fits the shallower profile?

Simples really, the tyres are far too big.

Too wide, too tall

 

Lowering it will only make things worse.

Okay then, so the 225s are out. Will the car be safe for my lad with either 205 or 215/40/17 tyres or are the TT alloys really not suitable?

Ive seen them done on here so what’s the story?

205/40 R 17 is right,

and 205/45 R 17 or 215/40 R 17 a bit bigger but can be used, but if lowering or already lowered maybe best not.

Cheers. 205/40 budgets being fitted tomorrow. My lads is no racer, just wants the car to look smart. £180 for the four, fitted and he gets to keep his 225/45 so a little return right there.

Anyone want 4 standard VRS 16’s with good tyres in South Wales? Have to be worth £180 right?

I hope they are not totally crap tyres getting fitted for style over function and safety.

I don't mind budget tyres, i have often big upped ones i think are rather good, but some are really pretty dodgy and dangerous.
