Tyre Profile

Postby need4speed » Sat Sep 23, 2017 5:50 pm

Have bought a set of Bola B12 alloys. Thinking about tyres. What are the highest profile tyres that will fit with 18" wheels without fouling?

I'm not bothered about putting speedo out a bit or the increase in gearing. The 175ps remap will handle the gearing. I'm more concerned about maintaining a bit of ride quality and the higher the profile the better for that...

So the answer to your question is 50’s.

Ride quality is fine on them and they don’t foul at all. I use 235 50 that is the size ford use on the sport................It’s also important to keep the tyre sidewall inboard of the wheel arch if you don’t want to be pulled over, so a 255 will be illegal if it protrudes unless the alloy has an offset that allows it.
