Hi all,
Ive just bought some 17" wheels for my Auris -  However, they dont have centre caps. They are wheels from a Lexus. The centre bore is 60mm. My question is - what size is the centre bore on the standard Auris T3 16" alloys? Im currently in my flat at High Wycombe with the new alloys, but my Auris is at my house in Aberdeen, so I cant check if the Auris centre caps will fit!!! If anyone knows wether my Auris centre caps will fit 60mm bore lexus alloys, please shout out!! If not, anyone know where I can get some Toyota branded 60mm centre caps at a good price? Cheers everyone, Have a good weekend - its scorchio in High Wycombe!!! Andy

Hello again
 Another question on peoples thoughts for these alloys..... should I put 215 45 17 tyres or 225 45 17 on them? I dont plan on lowering the car at the moment, but once the alloys are on, I may have a change of heart! Andy |

Recommended fitments,
15" 195/65x15 16" 205/55x16 17" 215/45x17 18" 225/40x18 19" 235/35x19 I would stick to the 215/45x17's personally. If you were to go with the 225/45x17's not only would you be increasing the width of the tyre, you would also increase the height of the tyre.... 215x45% = 96.75mm 225x45% = 101.25mm It may not be much of a difference but if you were to lower the car then a few mm can and does make more of a difference than you might think. |

Cheers mate - I went for the 215/45/17 in the end. However - Im confused by your statement? If I had fitted 225/45/17 how would that increase the height of the tyre? The 225 surely only refers to the width of the tyre? The 45 is the same and thats the tyre height according to my understanding? Please correct me if Im wrong! andy |

Isn't the wall "number" a percentage of the tyre width?
So 45% of a 215 tyre is less tyre wall height than 45% of a 225 Tyre width? |
