Tyre sizes on rev 3 turbo track car

[add heywood]

I have 17" 7J unstagerred wheels on the car. When i bought the car it had 205 35 on the front and 235 40 on the rear. Bought some t1r for the front same profile and just got some federal 595 rsr for the rear at a really good price.

The rears were advertised as 235 40 but when they arrived they are actually 215 40...

Is this going to affect the handling of the car with a slightly narrower rear wheel...?

Yeah, bit more oversteer. Should be fun... Enjoy.

R.

PS. Stick some 10-15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear to counteract this a bit by increasing the rear track and to replicate the oem staggered look in your arches.. assuming you want those things and space allows....
Or you could return the wrongly advertised tyres and get either a 225 or 235 depending on your preference.

My current setup is 195/50/16 in front and 225/45/17 in rear. Tyres Toyo R888

I think it's quite good. A little amount of oversteer, but it's not unexpected and easily controlled.
