Hi guys,

just wondering if i can put 225/45/17 on my bugeye. Would there be any issues?

[Gambit]

Will change you speedometer a bit but that should be all really think the blobeye I have the same my bug has a different type. But I'd be happy to put them on. [emoji6]

Speedo should be fine, it already has 215/45/17's so diameter is the same. I was wondering about the width, if it would rub or something.

Cheers

Oh ok no I have had 225's on both mine and doesn't catch on either of them :) 

[eddie555]

Will they go straight on the same rims ? (stock)

[Gambit]

Shouldn't do I've not changes my rims, but It might be worth checking just incase I'm wrong :D But I'm sure it's the just the top part of the tyre well I almost know it is I have had them on my Bugeye before

[eddie555]

Yes I've heard that before, cheers gambit

[Gambit]

No worries mate. I'd be happy to put bigger on mine on mine. I've had allsorts on through the years 225 and 215's same as you same rims I think the bugs on 215's now from memory because I badly needed them that day couldn't get 225s in time.
