Stew Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 ZMANALEX and Ekona (I'm sure there are more) run 888s so might be able to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Should be 245mm for the front and 255mm for the rear. Cheers. Disagree OEM non rays are 225/45/18 fronts and 245/45/18 rear unless the r888's use a differnt sizing system, 245 255 would be way off.

Slicks are surely not road legal which is the advantage of tyres like the r888 isn't it? (Near slicks but still road legal) You might be able to squeeze wider tyres on the standard rims surely, but it then changes the tyre's shape slightly. Which can affect its grip/wear characteristics.

pepperstu Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 i think ill just stick with the 225 and 245 sizes and i could go with slicks as they would be going on a set of alloys just for track use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
