(G) 225 on Blades?

i've had a little search but i cant find a straight answer

does anyone know if 225 (specifically 225/40/17) will fit on the Blade alloys?

i've heard of people running 225/50/16 on Coupe alloys when standard is 205/50/16 so i'm assuming they should fit okay? but i don know how wide they are? 7 or 7.5J?

Thanks,
Ry

i think dax mentioned something about 225 on blades, im sure he's running them

the guy building the turbo?

if so, i'll drop him a PM

yup thats the guy

Is it not 215/45's for both Blades and Claws?

yes, as far as i'm aware.

just wanted some extra width ()

response from Dax was they fit but there was too much overhang for his liking, i may try them, unsure yet

Actually Dax is right, the tyre place where I went to, to fit my Claws and replace two tyres with the Ultrac's, mistakenly fitted a 225 and a 215, the 225 looked ok but the 215 suits them perfect!

In the end it all comes down to personal opinion!

You buying new tyres again? go for it

if you want 225 go 225/45 as they are a common size and will give you a better price plus if you upgraded from 16s they are a better match rolling circumference

pishh.... i wish this was the first set since i last seen you, this is probably the 2nd or 3rd....

cant, 45 profile scrubbs the arches, made the mistake once and the car has the damage to show for it....

EDIT: just noticed your new, Welcome, i actually drive a Marea
