Title: tire widths and ratios for mv6 alloys....
Post by: ngrainqey on 27 November 2008, 19:23:32
hiya,
im just wondering if anybody can tell me what aspect ratio is suitable for some 255's on the mv6 alloys... i'v got 235/45's on atm...would it be ok with 255/45's or go for 255/40's ?

thanks

General technical info on alloy wheels.

I like these last 2 personally as they show you what the different wheel/tyre sizes will look like. 1 is a side elevation and the other is an end elevation so in combination you get a pretty good idea.

those are quite interesting links nathan but i wasnt after anything like that, i just wanted to know what was the biggest width tire i could use within reason for the standard mv6 irmscher wheels (im guessing the wheel width is 7.5")
and what aspect ratio i should use for best results (such as 45 or 40 as markey suggested)
would it not affect the speedo having lower profile(so creating a smaller circumference) tyres on the back than the front?

thanks
