Morning,
How many (any?) of you guys fitted 245/45/17 instead of the standard 235/45/17 to your standard rimmed XR8's? The diameter is increased by 9mm, which is 2/5ths of bugger all, and only 1mm off the standard 245/40/18 size fitted to Rebel and T3's. If so, what were the changes felt? The price of these are only a small amount above the 235 these days, and an extra 10mm width shouldn't do any harm to the handling, and definitely won't do any harm to looks. It should help overall grip slightly. The effect on gearing will also be negligible. Thoughts... BTW, the lip is already rolled on my front guards, so catching on the lip won't happen.
