235/40 is the size i had in mind, i am using 215/45 atm with loads of clearance on an 8J rim.I just need some more grip up front to compliment the 4-pot calipers i have on there.
I am considering some R1R's on the front and the rears will be r888 275/40/17
-i know these will not fit the arches however i have intent on fitting arch flares soon.
suspension btw is tien ype- flex.

This is why I wanted 215s.

Hits spring cup and inner arch.
Back to drawing board
