Title: tyre size, 17" for a facelift
Post by: humbucker on 30 August 2010, 09:55:18

hi all, i've searched the forum but to no avail.

anyone know the tyre size for a 17" alloy on a (facelift) omega? i have some facelift elite wheels here that were fitted to a senator until recently and the tyre size on them is 235/55/17 which i have a feeling is too big for an omega. wondered if any of you with elite/mv6 17s on a facelift wouldnt mind checking the tyre size for me? thanks in advance

thanks YZ250. i need to fit some wheels to the car while i work on it, needs to be able to roll along but not on the public highway, just in and out of the garage. do you think i could get away with this size without any arch rub etc? standard right height on a facelift mv6...

Should be OK for just rolling it in and out of garage but could be a bit tight on sharp turn. Could always give it a go.  :y
Edit: Tightest point appears to be between the front of sill and front tyre on medium turn.  :y
