Re: Got my mirrors and handles sprayed today

if they are 17" wheels then i'd say 205/45/17, as the replacement tyres aren't that expensive, or if budget isn't an issue then 205/40/17.

the 205 is the width of the tyre the 40/45 is the width of the tyre wall and 17 is the diameter of the wheel

Re: Got my mirrors and handles sprayed today

Looks good mate, much better for the spot of paint. I also like the alloys your looking at. Just a word of caution though, work out exactly what size you have got now tyre wise, then do it all in relative so that you dont lose any performance. You need to keep the overall diameter the same. Also make sure you have enough clearance when you lower it.

Re: Got my mirrors and handles sprayed today

205 is the width 45 is the profile of the tier and 17 is the rim size


205/45/17 is what you need
