Hi all!

Looking for some advice on tyre size on a set of 17" O.Z wheels.

Currently i am running 18" wheels 8" wide fronts and 9" rear, and have recently acquired a set of 17" O.Z wheels which
i believe are 8" on the frpont and 10" on the rear.

My question is what size tyre to go for on these new 17's? I dont want them to look lost in the arches compared to
the 18's on currently so will be looking to go for a chunkier tyre.

Any advice / photos would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Joe

What is currently on your 18s?

The correct size for the 17s is as follows:

Fronts: 225/45R17
Rears: 255/40R17

The fronts will be OK but you may have a little more stretch on the rears due to the 10J rear section.

Those are the 968 sizes too. You can fit 205/50R17s up front if the offset is a litte tight but it can cause a little more understeer, albeit not as bad as you'd think.

What offset are the new wheels
