Talking Finally, got my Asymmetrics fitted today, 225/45/17


Having had to wait a week i finally got the new boots fitted just now!
Now who said the asymmetrics would look wide on a 7" rim?
Well, you were right! LOL.
Once i have driven the car around i will update the post but they fit, of course, and look the mutts nuts. I just need to clean the bugger now to get rid of that bloody white rim sealant/glue stuff or whatever it is.
They certainly come out past the wheel so if i scuff a wheel now i will be in bloody trouble! Ha.
Regards.

I've got the same and I didn't notice them looking any wider than the RE070 tbh. Really good tyre.

Ant chance of a pic or two? My mates R888's are 16" so no good to me, i'm going to have to splash some cash, want the F1A's, but if they look wrong then it will be Vredestein Sultanas for me.

Thanks. They don't look as good as the old RE070s but they are a much better tyre. If it was a show/track car then I would go for the RE070 or the 888, but it aint
