[Lee]

oh cheers dude!!

Lee: so does that mean i can run the 215/45 profile ?? what do u run on ur evo??

Yes, if you want to keep close to the rolling diameter.
I run 205/45 again keeping with-in the 2.5%, that size is only 1.75% smaller than the Stock size, So when I'm doing 100kph on my speedo I'll be doing 98-99kph
Only due to the fact I have a wider off-set (Wheels was from my other car) But I did run 215/40 for a while.

The closest size to the factory (205/60R15) size is 245/40 R17 that size is only 1mm bigger, but with most lancers you'll have problems with fitting that size.
But then again it's going to change with a few mm when you get new tyres & when you need new ones.
But If I was to get a new set of rims with the right off-set I would run 215/45. :wink:

I run 45mm profiles on mine with a higher than normal load rating tyre because the RVR aint so light.
