My Girlfriend Has...

[JappyBeast]

Only got 205's on her 17's all round on her rev2 tubby...

I'm sure thats not right... thought you needed at least 215's on the back.

Anyone know?

[ZeroBlade]

yeh 2's were diff setup on the f&b.

Either her, or a previous owner has replaced em wrong, quite dangerous that!

[DeusMR2]

yep that setup will be dangerous round corners, especially being a tubby and all, stock setup from rev2 was 195/215 on 15", for 17"s id say go for 205/225 and try and keep the aspect ratio the same

[Bibbs]

205s .. stick 225's on the rear next time they wear out and it'll be fine.

[Jimlad]

yeah Andy... there should be a difference of 20 in the size between front and rear.

When I got my car my tyre sizes were wonky... probably contributed to my crash.

[JohnnyC]

Rev1's had 195s front and 205s rear - even the turbo's

[Stef Derner]

The rims should be 1" wider on the back too.

[Jimlad]

"should" be... but many people don't bother with that. Sometimes it's hard to get the rims in different sizes.

Rev1's had 195s front and 205s rear - even the turbo's

yeah but thats on 14's.

stock setup for rev 2 is 195/55/15 front and 225/50/15 rear.

defo boost up the back end size jappy - baby got (needs) back

[JappyBeast]

I have told her to take it steady for now... she is giving the wheels to me anyway as she has some new ones coming.

[Titto]

I had 205's all round on my 17's when i had them...dont panic yourself about it, if shes a nutter and drives crazy then get em swapped....if not, dont worry! Be happy! ...come on u know the song
