Guys, my 5 came with a big brake kit on the front.
Am I right in thinking I could drop down to a standard size disc and remove the caliper spacers?
This would allow me to lose the 15's and run some OE wheels.
I'm finding it really hard sourcing decent 195/45 R5 tyres. Such a limited choice.
Plenty in 195/50 though.
If I drop to 13's I could run 185/55 Toyo R888's I think :confused:

Sweet, Thanks Penfold.
Now the toss up is keep looking for decent 195/45's or start looking for some decent OE 13's for my Raider :scared:

185/60 is the correct size for track type tyres on standard rims.
Think your big brake kit is a 288mm GTTuning jobbie ;)
Loads of 195 45 15. Toyo t1r, eagle f1 are the ones I'd go for.
Blackcircles have Yokohama's for about £70/corner.Quote:

I want something a bit more 'sporty' :laugh:
think either camskill/mytyres also have Proxies T1-R's in that size.Quote:

Yeah can get T1r's without much fuss.
Shame I can't get a 888 in 45 profile odd something similar :crap:
You can get r888's in 215 wide at 50 profile. Doable.Quote:

Yep, identical.Quote:

Without butchering your arches 215/50/15 is probably a no go. The sidewalls are wide on r888.
13's ftw, 185/6013 r888 are cheaper
triple 888's are very good just be prepared to change them often!
although i did manage a ring trip in barely uk legal toyo's and got another 1000 or so
miles out of them!
:wasntme:
I was planning to have fitted Eagle F1's - have used them on every car ive had in the past and love them
