17x8 +35 front
18x9 +35 rear

Currently with
215/40/17 Eagle F1 front
245/35/18 Pilot Sport rear


not sure on your suspension set up but if you want max grip and can fit them
235x40 on the fronts , might rub on stock suspension cup but modify it with a percussion instrument
265x35 on the rears

either of those sizes will need the arches rolled and possibly a light pull on the arch too

Sorry I wasn't clear - I was thinking on stock wheels with a full stock setup.

Else it's looking like proxes on the rear. :(

Logue, if you want more variety, change to 16". As discussed in this topic, no much choice for 15".
Just go for the Falkens (stock sizes are mentioned as well).

And Allan, don't know about suspension, but it sits on Tein Monoflex.
But I asked for something similar or even better, something cheaper.
Thinking those sizes are a bit more expensive :mrgreen:

if the wheels clear the now you should be good the 235x40 or even the 225x45. Cheap tyres sounds all well and good but it is your contact with the earth and there are plenty of good choices for cheaper if you use popular sizes :thumleft:
