Tyre fitments on 17"Rims

Recommended Posts

Ive been thinking about putting a new set of tyres on the corrado as it looks like im going to be keeping her a while longer 8) Im currently running on 205/40/17s and wonder if i could run 205/50/17s or would they foul the arches as the cars lowered using eibachs approx 30mm, any ideas :? cheers

205x50x17 has an overall diameter of 308mm, playing 293mm for the original 15s..... So the speedo accuracy & acceleration would suffer.

 

205x40x17 is 298mm

 

225x35x17 is 295mm but it will rub.

 

Stick with 205x40s!
