st3ph3n Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I have a standard WRX. The wheels are 17x7, but the tyres are 215mm wide, which is 8.5 (roughly) inches. Now am I mixing up my apples and oranges here, or are my tyres (and I guess everyone's tyres) wider than my wheels? If so, would wider tyres fit on my wheels?
Gumball Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 i think you can use wider tyres on your wheels. i have 225/45/17. on them i can use 215, 235 as far as im aware. the wider the tyre, the more sideways youll go in the wet though so.......
st3ph3n Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not seeing the downside there chris Obviously using wider tyres means changing the profile to get as close to the same circumference as possible, but I just wanted to know. I learn something every day hanging around these forums.
Gumball Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 better hanging about here than some of the place squirrel hangs about
