What about 215/45/17 in a 7" wide wheel? - Clio197.net

Turu · 07-03-2010, 22:51

I just found a set of wheels for the Clio 197, BBS LM Reps (If I could afford the original ones at 750 pounds per corner) and they are 7jx17.

I was wondering if a 215/45/17 would be a little on the limit of the wheel, according to this website: http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

I've been doing my homework and searched the forum, and the whole internet, but it's doesn't seem to solve my questions.

Anyone here has put these tyres into a 7j wheel? I don't want them to look like there's too much rubber into the wheel, so if anyone have suggestions about this I would appreciate it

Cheers

Think Jase is running that size tyre on his summer wheels, they are 7j if I remember correctly. No issues and looks fine

Could you post a picture of the wheel and the sidewall please? I found one picture (the first one in your sig) that shows the wheel but too far away.

Thank for the response!

Sorry can't as my pc is down for a few days.
Just search the galery section for threads started by me before say November last year as that's about when my winter wheels were put back on.
