New rims/tires - will this fit?
I'm planning a new set of wheels for my Rev 2 and looking at JR5's in sizes 17 x 7.5J front and 17 x 8.5J rear, both ET35. Tires would be 215/40 and 235/40 (or35?). Supplier does not want to comment if these combinations would fit, so too much of a gamble to take the plunge immediately.
Anyone have any experience with these sizes? Would they fit? Spacer(s) needed?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

tyre widths perfect fit those wheels
personally 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 on the rear not 35 profile

offset 35 will fit as well
check yourself using the links just dont take my word for it

Re: New rims/tires - will this fit?
I had the same predicament when trying to size rims. I wanted to go for Rota grids 17" x 7.5" ET45 front, 17" x 9" ET42 rears. Mine would require a 10mm front spacer. This would make both of the rims around 6mm tucked in from flush according to that calculator, but for the life of me I couldn't find out how 6mm tucked looked.
Let me know if you go for them as I'd like to see how they fit.
^ I'd go for 40 profile as well.
