Everyone fits 215/40x17. F1s seems to be the best bet and good value (see other thread here). I'm getting some next week - my second set.

I have an RB5 with Pzero's on 205 45 R17 and I am about to change my tyres. I am going to go for F1's. Can I put 215 40 R17's on the rims I have? or should I stick to the same size.

Claudius

Depends on the rim width and on what sort of tyre behaviour you prefer

Will it fit? Sure it will.

Will it be great? That's a whole other story...

Ianwales

Cheers.

What tyres are other RB5 owners using on the Speedline alloys that come with the car?

I want to use F1's and it looks like they don't even come in 205 40 17's? so i'd have to use a different size?

Brun

Go for it Plenty of others have changed from 205/45 to 215/40.

Claudius

Sorry about that, but I am slightly pïssed off with everybody getting my info, but when I ask where to buy wheels (easy question, isnt it?) I dont get an answer in days!

Cheers guys I will go for changing to 215 40 17's then. Hopefully changing to the F1's will improve the grip.

Claudius
