anyone using 45" tyre on 17's wheel for GTi6?is that any bad effect?
40" tyre on 17's wheel with hard suspension seems really uncomfortable.

I was using 40 profile 17s, found it didn't have enough give and spoilt the handling so swapped to 16s with a 45 profile which seems improved.________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

I have seen 45's on a 6 before but it looked like there was very little clearance. If you have solid beam mounts & roller bearing wishbone bushes & it's not too low you may get away with it.These French cars do vary, you may be lucky or you could end up with a set of tyres that foul the body all the time ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |
