OK first question, of no doubt many!
My rears are currently 245/50 R15 running on 10x15 ET-19 minitlies.
Now the issue is these size tyres are not available any more.
I also have a spare set of 8x15 ET-19 minilites but was looking for suggestions on tyre size. Fronts are 7x15 Et0 running 225/60/15.
Now from my calculations the diameter of the 225/60/15 is 651mm diameter v the 245/50/15 at 626mm diameter
Do I go 225/60/R15 (651mm) all round leaving the front as it is and raising the rear slightly by 10mm
Or...
Do I drop down to the more standard 225/50/R15 (606mm) all round dropping the car by 23mm at the front and 10mm at the rear
Or...any other suggestions
Opinions?
Thanks
Graham
