I can't click on them.

Could try something like this.

This is what I use. Try and get down low with the camera, suspension, springs, underside of the car. That kind of thing.

Would anyone that mite be on standard suspension, 17"s with 45 profile, maybe take a measuring tape to there car for me and measure from ground upto the highest point of arch lip... say straight up centre of wheel. and to 12 o clock position of wheel arch appreciate it thanks

It will be a real challenge to find somebody on stock suspension and 17" wheels

ZANDER · 29th September 2009, 10:52 PM

ZANDER · 29th September 2009, 11:00 PM

It's your tyres.

215/45/17 This is your Front's

215 is your tyre width

45 is your side wall = 45% of the tyre width

So that's 45% of 215mm = 96.75mm That's the height of your side wall

I have 235/40/18 Doing the above calculation, I have a 94mm side wall on my front's and I have 18's

So I have an inch bigger wheel and 2.75mm less side wall. So an inch more ground clearance, roughly. With tyres like this I'd imagine your speedo is not reading true either.

And looking at the picture I'd say the wheels are something like 17/7

Judging by the rust on your springs I'd say they were standard.

Junk the wheels and the tyres. What arsehole fitted them!

You should have 17/8 front and 17/9.5 rear...... This is for stock 235/45 front and 255/40 rear. What are yours?

I forgot to mention 'V' rated tyres are only rated up to 149mph

Try this.

If I measure horizontally across my tyre and wheel, so horizontally from edge of tread to edge of tread I get 25 inches and my tyres are very low on tread.

What do you get?
