Change of tyre size

[^pomen_GTR^]

Hi Sifu's,

would like to check, i'm thinking to change my tyre size from 215/50R17 to 215/45R17, but according to the recommended size change, the new size would be more than >3% difference, so will there be any bad effect except for like speedo inaccurancy?

215/45R17 is much easier to find and cheaper by a lot...so thinking to change to this size only if its recommended..

i wouldnt call it bad effect...the worst just your speedo will be under reading like speedo shows 110km/h meanwhile actual speed just around 100km/h which is good to avoid speed trap


if want it to be closer to 3% rules, u need to increase the width... 235/45-17 will be the closest to stock tyre...but rim width might be an issue (need atleast 7.5" wide rim of best 8" wide rim)

i would suggest 225/45-17..it will be compromise between tyre width and overall diameter compared to stock tyre size....

In the end i just change back to the same 215/50/17. Since the price is similar with 225/45/17...

Some sizes not meant to be changed. Either becomes too low or the rims not wide enough. Another size is like 185/55 R16. Change to 195/50R16 too small, 195/55R16 too big, 205/50R16 diameter ok, but original rims too narrow.....
