hi guys

at the mo i have 205/45/17 tyres on my 98 wagon turbo with p1 rims i'm looking for new tyres and was wondering if i can go to 215/40/17 ??
will they fit on the rims ok?? and is it ok to change the rolling radius etc??

all help appreciated

I ran 215/40 for a few years on 17x7 and they were fine. Rolling radius will drop from about 308mm to 302mm, slightly shorter gearing will aid acceleration a little, but will knock off a mile or so off each gear.
