Nice wheels

kezwaldo

godspeed 335 mm on front drilled and grooved ,braided hoses.............. i was going to say tyres look less chunky than my old ones these are 215s maybe my old ones was 225 or maybe bigger they do seem skinny ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,any suggestions????????????

kezwaldo

yep i waa running 235/45/17s before can def feel difference every bump in road now............looks like ive bought 17x7s wheels and my last set was 17x 7.5 need to close the gap between arche and tyre a bit anyone know what biggest tyre i can run with on the new inovit redline 17x7 if i cant get 235s again will i notice the difference by puttin new 225s on????????????????????????

kezwaldo

yes if the 45 on a tyre is wall height why would they look smaller i had 45 wall size on last wheels it would only be the width thats changed surely !!!!!!!!!!!! or am i just being a div lol

45 is a percentage of the tyre width 45% of 215 is less than 45% of 225

kezwaldo

should hardly notice then once i have the 225s on then thanks for messages mate didnt want to lower it so hoping the 225 tyre will help close the gap a bit as the 215s look to thin

For what the wheels cost and the cost of new tyres I would be inclined to just get better wheels mate that you can run 235/45 on

Are you sure they are Redlines as they look more like my old Rota SDR's

kezwaldo

def redlines mate i was sold them as so and googled them and the same wheel appears............im just going to get 225s a and maybe drop it a little .........i dont think it helps that the tyres are as bold as acoot either in appearance from what i hear standard bugs sit on 225/45/17s on 17 x 7s

kezwaldo

right ive been told by the tyre man local to me that i can either run on 215/50/17s which will fill the gap most he reckons same there abouts as what i was running on the 235/45/17s OR i can just go with the book and have the standard size that all bugs run on 225/45/17

bigger profile tyres will not help the look much, it needs lowering with either springs or coilovers.

higher profile tyres will make you look like bigfoot

kezwaldo

what do we reckon will it ride drive nice with the 50s or shall i just go with the 225/45/17s these 215s im running now are doing my head in if i run over a *** end its feels like a boulder LOL

kezwaldo

geuss i will go with the 225/45/17s then lol ive been wanting to lower it for a while now i have bug sti suspension at the moment is it literally spring for spring nothing else needed........??

225 45 17s and either lowering springs or coilovers.

bigger profile tyres will look silly.
