Gaz6002 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 You didn't need to start a new thread http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=94370 It is an unusual size mate, but i'm sure 40's will fit so why not get some 275/40/17s? Surely you don't have clearence issues with 17's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Nah I have 275/40/18's and had no trouble getting hold of them. Would it be easier for you to obtain 275/40/17's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_g Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 well i ony started i new 1 coz , just fort more people would see this than if i just started mentioning it at the bottom of my other post. Nah i hant got any clearance issues at all, as its completely standard, but i was just looking for same size as what was on there already, but nowhere that iv askd can get hold of 275-17's whether its 35 or 40's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The rolling radius of a 275-35 is a bit small on a 17" rim anyway.You'd be better going for a 40 profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Standard size is 255/40-17, right? 275/35-17 Difference -1.8% 275/40-17 Difference +2.5% http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi It seems to be easy enough to find 275/40-17 Michelin, Falken, Yokohama, and Kumho online, but it's obviously not a common size.

Wez Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I use to use 275 Kumho Supra on the rear stock 17" wheels, car feels alot more stable with stock 255. I only increased the size on the rear so cannot comment what difference it would make if you increased the front as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
