Hi all,

If i'm changing MY00 16" standard wheels to 17", what would be the correct tyre profile to get? - 215/40?

Thanks,

Nick.

I believe it's 215/40 or 205/45 .... most people run 215/40 ..

Correct me if I'm wrong :D
Doofus.

I've just tried using the tyre calculator & I want to check that i've done this right. I'm currently running 205/50-16 so on 17's or 18's I have the following choices for MY95:

215/40-17
215/35-18
225/35-18

Have I done this right?

YES you have got it right, but i personally would plump for 17's i run 195/55/15's and notice slightly better acceleration, but 1.8% underread on speedo, apparently :D
