Madmax Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You ever seen euro style modifying some of the profiles of tyres on those cars are pretty mental lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have got 215/40/16 on mine, and they have bucketloads of grip in the dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That profile is crazy low.... you do need a bit of give in the sidewall for your handling on the road.... and even 40 profiles are very low. 215/40/17 is the biggest I'd go on a road-going car. Expect some rubbing on standard arches at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think they've started making them since I made the post, as it was such a great idea of mine that I invented all by myself. That's the ONLY possible explanation because if i'm never ever ever ever wrong. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
