Author	Subject: What tyre size
blandy Seasoned Pro Location: Bucks Registered: 25 Feb 2007 Posts: 2,437 Status: Offline	Post #1 Been trying to google but what Tyre size would be "ideal" on a 15 x 8.25 rim? Purchased some new wheels but dont think my 195/50/15 are going to be much use to me anymore.

I have Rinjani's fitted, 7.5J wide. 205/40R17 tyres. ________________________________________ My car park: '96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!

Depends what tyres you plan to use, some tyres are much squarer than others especially competition tyres. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com Bring on the Trumpets.
