Simple answer is yes
Thanks, was not sure about the 91W to 91Y part
Kwik-fit quoted £529 for same tyres fitted
Sorry to jump in but it is on post...
Would the change in aspect ratio from 50 to 45 effect the speedo reading at all?
It's just that I've got the same tyre as the OP...
only slightly, but maginal. They will also look smaller. The overall diameter of the 45 wall tyres when new is the same as a fully worn 50 wall tyre.
in fact there is a 6mm rolling radius drop in the 225/45 tyre (12mm in diameter, half inch is quite a lot. IMO) - it can be tech'd out tho
Anybody got pictures of their sri with standard suspension after they have changed tyre size to 225/45/17,thanks in advance
