Scooby-Virgin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Gents I am looking to oust new tyres on my Hawkeye WRX. I am able to get 4 Dunlops 225/45/17 W 94's for £300 which is a serious bargain as I know the guy who owns the tyre shop. Before I spend this kind of money is there any issues running 225's rather than 215's and do dunlops suit the car well? At the moment it has potenza's on the front but they only have about 1k or 2k left in them and... Wait for it... AREOWSPEED on the rears! Pretty certain these were put on to get it through its MOT. Normally I run Michillins on other cars I've owned but would appreciate your advice and help if possible? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby-Virgin Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice, I'll take a look, what do you think to going up to 225's or stick to 215's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm pretty sure 215 refers to the width of the tyre... I know you can go shorter than the width of the alloy and have a stretched tyre... but go wider? Not so sure... Personally, I would stick with the spec that are on your wheels at the moment, then you know you're not gonna have any issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmymac101 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Stick with the same size or go bigger :) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
