Hi All
I understand the RB5 was supplied with 205/45-17 Pirelli P-Zeros. I'm wondering if anyone has fitted 215/45-17 (Note: NOT 215/40-17) tyres after the originals wore out? And were there any differences in the way the car handled that you think could be attributed to the different size tyre?
Thanks alot!
John

All prodrive cars of that age were fitted with 17inch wheels and 205/45/17 tyres, ive got a my98 PPP and run 205/45/17 for road use but ive also got a set of 17inch WRX (new age) wheels that still have their standard 215/45/17's on that i use for track days and to be honest find they feel fine.
The speedo "should" be out with the larger profile tyres but It cant be by much as I havnt realy noticed much difference.
