Should be 245mm for the front and 255mm for the rear.

 

Cheers.

ZMANALEX and Ekona (I'm sure there are more) run 888s so might be able to advise.

Zmanalex sells slicks which are better than 888s and last longer too.

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.

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
