Tyre size for 17x8 wheels. Dc2r.

[mmap2011]

Hi all.

I'm looking to purchase some 17x8 +45 Enkei Rpf1's for my Dc2r and I'm wondering what the correct tyre choice would be to suit this wheel. The car has standard ride height so I don't think there would be an issue with clearance however I'm concerned that they will scrub considering the width and offset. Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers people,

Mark.

I wouldnt go past 215/45(or even 40)/17.

8" width I'd go with 225/40/17... standard ride height, I reckon with 17x8 it'll look like 4wd although, let us know how you go.

i used to have 17x8 +36 with 215/40, lowered about 2.5-3" and about - 2-2.5 camber and it rubbed on the inner wheel well on more than a bit over 1/2 lock either way

Don't forget the impacts to your speedo with changing tyre/rim size....try and keep as close to the same aspect ratio as stock rim ratio if you want your speedo to be correct as possible....having said that I agree with the others...stock ride hide, and your looking at car that looks like a 4wd and will be slower off the line than stock rims

Go 225 wide on the 8"... The 16" is more suited for the dc2r

16" is the perfect size for dc2

Cheers for the replys. I've decided to go for 16x8 instead, I'm trying to source a set in black.

i think so 16" is the best size for dc2 to race
