I'll stand corrected then my 2003 GLS is running on 5 Spoke 2001 Elite wheels they are currently on 225 45 R17 but just curious if anyone has tried a 40 profile tyre ?

Surely they should have 235/45/17s on

I remember when 165 was considered 'Wide'......

I thought that a 165 would've been a new type of tyre fro you ........... a move up from crossplys

Doh

Sad bastard

Whats the difference between that and same era Elite? Actually, I don't care

I was only going to say that the wheels on TBE matched the chavvy stuck on willy extension Irmscher kit 

For all that it matters, and just for the record it really doesn't , yours are dished with a pronounced rim, where as the Elite ones are flat faced

p.s. if the cap fits...

I remember when 165 was considered 'Wide'......

I upgraded my Avenger to wide, low profile 175/70 x13 on 5.5" wheels a fortnight after I got it. It has far more grip than you can actually use as a result. Stock is 145x13 on a 4.5" wheel, so it's quite a big step.

Once I eventually get the XE running I expect to have to upgrade again. I have some 15 and 16" Revolutions that look great, but I suspect will spoil it. In which case, the credit card will get hammered for some repro 6" Aleycats and good(rather than the old, cheap tyres on it at the moment) 185/70x13s. I found that's the wheel and tyre size I like best on Capris(had various setups on the 10 I've owned), and should work well on this, whilst still looking right on the car.
