R32 GTR Tire Sizes on 17"x10" Rims?

[RB_26]

17" x 10" Alloys currently with 235 45 17

Should I really be going 40 proifle? with say 265?

Interested in your opinions on this as I've seen a stock V Spec II running 245 - 45 - 17's ...... hmmm :kick:

Remember the profile is shown as a percentage of the width for a 265, I would go with a 35 profile. Very common size, standard on big beemers.

Who on earth fitted a 235 on a 10" rim (I'm running that size on a 7.5" rim!)? So, you've got 50mm extra width on me, which theoretically suggests a 285.

Do the maths and judge what profile, say for a 265, gives a sidewall height similar to the 235/45 tyre.
