:troutslap Hi. All Urgent question ! Can a 1998 V70R AWD accept tyre`s 225 / 45 / 17 ? My heart , and viewing other R AWD , I say yes ! They have 215 as stock , but , 225`s are cheaper due to many cars run this size unlike 215/45/17 ! Help Thanks guys Ps/ I need tyre`s very soon , Transfer box and all that ! Cheers
They'll probably fit but may rub on full lock, its one of those do or dont things really, if your not bothered about them rubbing then its not a problem
It's all to do with how much rubber is on the road from the standard tyre to the 225's, my car came with 16" wheels 205/55/16 i changed wheels and now run 225/35/18's no issues what so ever, and i have now done 4k miles on them, just rotate your wheels every 3k,
Try mytyres.co.uk as I have alway found them to be pretty good for 215/45/17s
