napp Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I little stumped ? I have 245 all round on my car , could I get away with 40 instead of 45 profile ? as I have tried to work out just how much difference there is in height on the side wall. Did 350Z,s come out on 17s as I am shore I have seen them on older cars. think the size on 225s is 45 so I think by going 245 x 40 there wont be much difference.

G1en Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 245/40 profile will be fine, thats what i have on mine. It will slightly lower car but wont be an issue looking at your existing pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napp Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 thanks , how much more of a drop , think I worked it out about 10mm but my maths is cr@p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1en Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yeah around 12mm but couple of things to note, if your going from worn out tyres to brand new you will gain half of that back with the new full 8mm tread and different tyre manufacturers can have varying widths/depths of tyre but quote the same size ie 245/40 size. But all in all, you will be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napp Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 well I went for 245 x 40 x 18 all round , think it looks better with a slightly lower profile tyre , and with 245 all round I can swap back to front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
