Hi guys just wondering what tyre size I can put on my s70r it has comets and already has 205/45/17 on but I have a wheel of my old one and that's got 215/45/17 on should I look at sticking at one of these sizes or can I run a wider tyre cheers

you can run 215 45 17's but for looks and cos theyre cheaper id run 215 40 17's any wider and the fronts will rub on lock
Cool cheers for that
My preferred tyre size is 215/45/17

my citroen runs proper tyres, 245 45 18's now theyre chunky
Cheers guys think I'm swaying towards 215 40 17 ill have to see what the tyre place have tomorrow at least ive got a bit of choice
I run 215/45/17 on my comets without issue.
I had 225/45/17 on the last set and they were fine too except for a little rubbing of the rear wheel arch liners on full compression - that only happened on track though.
It might ride a bit hard with 40 series rubber? Thats why I put 215 45 17s on my FWD V70R.
(Biff - Never realised that was the std size for the R AWD though - are you sure about that? My owners manual says 205 45 17...)
Currently - '96 850R auto

if you go to 205 40 17's you'll save alot of money
eg

for me its 40's for looks and 205's for the price difference
I did have 215 45 17 on my old s70r ive still git a brand new tyre on the comet i had left over from the car so if there's not much difference id probably be better of with that size I reckon as I would only need 3
