    Question wide bit of rubber

    Hey people

    I am looking to buy a set of wheels of the bay but the tyre size is 255/40r17 will this cause problems? Don't know the width of the wheels just wondered if anyone has simular width tyres

    thanks much love

    225s will scrub and require c70 bump stops. I think you'll have no chance with 255s.

    You've got more chance of §§§§ing the queen than getting them on without any issues!!

    I run 235/40/17's, they rub badly on full lock, and I had to roll the arches a bit to stop them catching on the rear.
