Idlewillkill 10 Posted February 24, 2013 Hey guys. First the wheel specs... ET - 35 Size - 17 Inch Front Width - 7.5 Rear Width - 8.5 So with the high offest, I'm guessing that epic stretch is not really needed. With this in mind, I'm thinking 195/40 all round. 195 would be pretty flush against the rim on a 7.5 width, and a nice bit of stretch on the 8.5 just to play it safe with lowering. However, everyday is a school day so any advice is more than welcome :thumbleft: Thank you in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradv8 10 Posted February 24, 2013 get your tyres from camskill, seem to be cheapest around, im running 16s on mine so cant be any help, i know my friend has 17s on his n it is slammed n looks sweet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 11 Posted February 24, 2013 Personally I'd go 195/40 front and 205/40 rear.. You're adding 1 inch wheel width and 1cm tyre width so will still see a slightly higher stretch on the rear.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vw rule 19 Posted February 25, 2013 Hello there, I've got 17" rims on my Corrado. Tyres are 205/40 R17 95v I just wacked on some budget tyres as they were only about £40.00 a tyre, plus there of a medium compound and so won't wear out too quickly these were Wanglee's, bought them from Tyreland about a year ago and still going strong now. Regarding tyres the 205 is the tyre width, 205/40 R17 95V the 40 is the profile the hight of the tyre wall, 205/40 R17 95V and the 17" is the size of the tyre 205/40 R17 95V plus the 95v is the speed rating 205/40 R17 95V So the lower profile tyre you fit the less movement and flex you'll have in the tyre when fitted to your rims. Pirelli tyres are normally soft and do wear out quite quickly, £86.00 Continental tyres are of a soft to medium compound, £110.00 Goodyear tyres are normally quite good £100.83 Yokohama tyres are made of butter will wear out in now time, £72.00 Firestone tyres these are good but are of a soft compound. £95.00 Autogrip tyres are like a budgit tyre medium compound £40.00 Event tyres again are a budgit tyre £39.25 Sunew tyres are quite cheap to buy and aren't bad £39.17 All are plus VAT as well Hope this helps mate.
