Hi guys

Just bought a set of 02 bugeye 17s for my my00 uk turbo. Fitted em this avo but needed 5mm spacers as the tyres were rubbin the struts at the rear. I was wondering if changing the tyres from 235/45/17 as they are now to 205/40/17 would allow me to get rid of the spacers?
Thanks in advance

The 235's are too big for the rims really, well, maybe right on the limit, you can quite easily go for 215/40 17's....... which are probably in better supply than the 205's....


215's will defo not rub!!

Thanks RON thats what i thought. Now all i got to do is find someone who wants these tyres, shame as there almost brand new. Do many places do trade ins for tyres as there a decent make etc?

Best to get the tyres removed, and then advertise them yourself i would have thought!
