just up the front? wouldve thought all round on the R

The rears I have gone 245 / 45 / 17.

A bit wider on the rears for a tad more grip / traction.

I did question him about it but my mechanic sorted it all out for me and that minor size difference does not effect it at all.

245/45R17 Tire 1 - 235/45R17

Section Width: 9.64 in 245 mm 9.25 in 235 mm

Rim Width Range: 7.5 - 9 in

Overall Diameter: 25.68 in 652.27 mm 25.32 in 643.12 mm

Sidewall Height: 4.34 in 110.23 mm 4.16 in 105.66 mm

Radius: 12.84 in 326.13 mm 12.66 in 321.56 mm

Circumference: 80.67 in 2049.0 mm 79.54 in 2020.3 mm

Revs per Mile: 809.9 821.4

Actual Speed: 60 mph 100 km/h 60.8 mph 101. km/h

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 1.419% too fast

Diameter Difference: - Diameter Difference: 1.41%

jezza, in17" you really want a 45 profile for anything around a size you are gonna want, 40 is for 18's... too low profile makes the wheel look mega homo

for my 17 x 9.5's i'm going 235/45/17

I wish I could fit a 45 profile... Apparently with standard suspension it's a no-go.

Maybe a good excuse to get coilovers though... I'll ask the MR2 boys what to do.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
