Any help be much appreciated That makes the rolling radius around 6% out which is a fair amount! If you are wanting to decrease the rolling radius you really need to increase the width buddy. Quote

370Ad Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Loads of people run a 30mm drop with wider tyres bud. It might look better but won't handle too great and you will prob get TCS issues. Quote

Neilp Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Why not just stick to the 45 profile tyre? Quote
Chris AME Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Droping the profile will also make the ground clearance less so bear that in mind, if you want 35 profile tyres you need to be looking at 19" wheels 1 Quote
KyleR Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 What rims you got? Best bet would be to drop to 40 profile on 245 fronts and 265 rears. Quote

I agree with Kyle bud, 35's are too low for 18's, 40 profile in the sizes above would work well. Quote
EvansJD2112 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I have 225 and 245 on a 40 profile. Car is lowered by 30 with 25 rear and 20 front spacers. Works for me. Quote
SamN Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Any more pictures Evans? I've been considering dropping to a 40 profile all round but don't want more arch gap! Quote

laidbackluke Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) exactly what i wanted to know too! its fine knowing the specs but so useful to know what it looks like too! potential new thread - wheel/tyre specs thread with pics? Edited October 17, 2013 by laidbackluke Quote
StevoD Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Dropping both to 35 profile wont cause any more issue VDC wise than them being 45 profile it will just cause your Speedo to ready out Quote
