Featured Replies

Hi, would any one out there want to swop your standard Fabia VRS alloys/tyres for my 17" BOSS XL200 alloys/tyres? Wheels and tyres are in very good condition.

If of interest to any one I,m in Tamworth Staffs.

Regard Steve.:thumbup:

Hi steVR, I prefer the standard wheel for spares and I,m going to fit Speedline 15" for the rally look?

Are they same as the OZ's in all aspects e.g. weight and strength or do they just look like them?

Size=205/40x17 Make=Nankang.

Shouldn't the Fabia be running 215/40 tyres on 17's?

Eddy, If you put on 7 X 17" wheel I think you need 205/40,.......I have 7.5 X 17 wheels therefor I use 215/40 to avoid the "Stretched" look................."I think"........:)

205/40/17 is actually closer in rolling radius to 205/45/16 so are the better option it would seem. For some reason I had it my head they should be 215/40/17.

Hi, Regarding the weight ,who knows? off-set must be on inside of rim? 7x17 no spacers fitted and tyres have plenty of tread left. If you have a copy of Demon Tweeks cat. see page 32 for a picture.

Regarding the weight ,who knows?

For comparison,

an OEM Fabia vRS 16" alloy with a Toyo Proxes 205/45x16 tyre and 6 mm of tread weighs 16.9 Kg (according to my bathroom scales).

A 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 with a Toyo Proxes 205/40x17 and 8 mm of tread weighs ... 16.9 Kg!

So my aftermarket alloys will be lighter once I've worn some rubber off.
