clarkie34 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Don't know about JDM cars but UK cars are on 18s and have 245s at the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I’d wait for a fellow Import owner to confirm but from memory, I think the correct fitment is: Front: 225/50W17 | Rear: 235/50W17 As above, let another Import owner confirm this though...

Tyres grip, Power goes down, Zed goes forward quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that these sizes are correct. As for putting on 19" wheels - in bone dry conditions they might improve traction and grip, but in the current weather conditions they would be worse than the standard tyres.

Ozz Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Don't know about JDM cars but UK cars are on 18s and have 245s at the rear. Mine is JDM 05 and has these sizes (245 rear). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgomez1978 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 if its a JDM with 17's it should be 225's front and 235's rear as CS said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 if its a JDM with 17's it should be 225's front and 235's rear as CS said + 1, you are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Mind you, if they are aftermarket wheels and the previous owner didn't pay attention to the wheel width difference between front and rear, you may well actually have 225's on the rear.
