Ewen Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Stuck my nose in on a thread over on MSOC about someones new wheels on an N/A....to me the front wheels with tyres looked too small, especially compared to the back and I said as much. Hes put 235/40/17s on the front and 275/40/17s on the rears....am I worried over nothing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I had this with another member tonight, but i was on about the rears as I thought 275 on the rears on 17's was a bit big for day to day. Qucik check on this site and all was well http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/tyre_bible.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yup, good site that. My point to him was the large difference in overall diameter between fronts and backs (32mm in diameter, or 100mm in circumference) in his case.... The concensus over there is that even original standard 16" wheels had the same difference in diameters and hence circumference between fronts and backs. Quoting stuff from here that they say is wrong didnt help. I thought I was right, but now Im not too sure:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
