Who Is Running 235/40/17's On 7x17's?

[Fizz]

I knwo a few mr2 lads are but what do they make of them?? would they do it again??

What are the bad points that you have come across? im looking to get some rims but cant afford the 8x17's but still want 235's on the rear...

in an idea world you would be able to get 225/40/17 but you cant!

any help would be much appreciated!

i think 235's would 'balloon' on the edges on 7j's???

and i suppose this could be potentially dangerous (maybe)?

and itll look a little daft!

wait a week or two bud, save a couple more $$'s and get some 8Js

would you have thought that having a lower profile like 235/40/17 would make much of a difference compared to yours?

[Stu8]

no wouldnt expect any difference at all

I'm running that size too Fizz, no problems as yet. Had to fit a 3mm spacer on each front wheel as the spokes were catching very slightly on the calipers. Thats 42 offset btw.
