I think %95 of the time you're better off getting a hi-flow panel filter for your existing airbox, one by K&N or similiar.
Had an MY06 2.0r for a while but it was too sensible.I thought you had a Rex Leitch?
225 is too much.My rear tires are about shot from sick skiddz br0 (so much power i can even get the rears to spin). Im keen on getting 225/45's but i don't know how well a 225 will sit on a 7" wide rim. Seems to depends on the manufacturer too, i've got 2 different branded pairs of 215's and i can certainly see that one pair slightly balloons and the other has a little bit of stretch.
Whats some good tires for the cornerz?
My interweb searching seems to tell me 225's are about the max you can go on a 7 wide without any trouble? Hmm i haven't really delved into the world of tires just yet...what would i be looking at for a good tire at each corner new?225 is too much.
and how much do you want to spend?
Yeh i do fancy the Potenzas...though im not too learn-ed on there models. Is the RE002 the bees knees?Bridgestone Potenza RE002!
I vote federal 595RS-R in a 205 width. A little stretch is good because the tyre would flex alot less then if it was ballooning.My interweb searching seems to tell me 225's are about the max you can go on a 7 wide without any trouble? Hmm i haven't really delved into the world of tires just yet...what would i be looking at for a good tire at each corner new?
whats your profile size? I've got 205's on my 15 inch rims in a 50 offset and they are sweet.17". Keen on 225's
Sensible or shit?Had an MY06 2.0r for a while but it was too sensible.
What do you mean by profile size? Rims are +45 offsetwhats your profile size? I've got 205's on my 15 inch rims in a 50 offset and they are sweet.
17 inch wheels would probably suit the 225's well.
Cheers dude, this site looks the goods for some research. Im a little torn...my rears would be considered defective so they do need changing, but my fronts were brand new when i bought the car and have only had about 15000km's put on them. Not happy at all with them though and i think the seller just slapped on the cheapest set he could find to pass a roadie. Do i just go all out and get 225's at each corner or . There will be some 215/45/17 tires going cheap if i doI have 235/45/17 on 7.5" rims and they just bulge slightly, they are Sport contact 2 they have a RRP of around 300 each but Conti had a special on and I got four fitted and balanced for $650, It was supposed to be $680 but they had no change and rounded down.

If they are very dodgy keep an eye on the sidewalls on both the inside and the outside, I know LingLongs had a habit of cracking around the sidewall after only a short time.What do you mean by profile size? Rims are +45 offset

i meant to say 50 profile the profile is the height of the tyre. So your saying you need a 225/45/17 so the profile is 45What do you mean by profile size? Rims are +45 offset

When I was in the US I was running 350 bf goodies on a set of 12x15 rims on my camaro . Didn't corner for shit but was real baggy and hooked up nicely from the start line. but burn rubber, go like hell in a straight line and corners be damned!17". Keen on 225's
Go buy a K&N panel filter for it. They work well!Does a CAI pod filter set up Increase or decrease fuel consumption? Its for a ford i6 engine.
