Which is ridiculous given there would be no actual problem running that profile...just that fact that the overall diameter is probably going to end up greater than factory..

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Legacy Donating Member 13,798 Member For: 18y 9m 29d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 13/08/15 04:53 AM Posted 13/08/15 04:53 AM (edited) I've also noticed my wider rears are always a smaller profile like 35 front and 30 rear, why is that? Is it coz the extra width actually makes the tyre taller?Yep - remember that the profile number is a ratio against the width, so as the tyre gets wider, the actual "height" of the profile gets bigger even though the number (40 etc) stays the same.PS nah I feel bad about taking Ralph's time (even though I do pay him), I hate giving up my precious personal free time as well so I know the feeling. He's a busy family man and undercover hoon! Would rather see him out on cruises more Oh and yeah Rab I run staggered F6 18" stockies, so no DIY rotating to be had.
