Escort_Kid Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 interested to know myself, as ive got some coming with exactly the same size tyres, but oh well i dont mind a tiny bit of rubbing at full lock if it does I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning1988 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 ok, because i think 45 profile would be to low on standard suspention. iv got 55 on rear and there a but balloon like so im getting some new 50's to go on the 55 rims and put them on the front and put the 50's on the back. hope thats not to confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I had 215/40 16's on my mondy's, prefect tyre size for them IMO (see sig), Some people use 205/40 16's too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
