Cav Hatch on 17's

[Mikebmth]

Just bought a set of Monza R 17" multispokes with a 38et offset, currently they have 205/40/17 tyres on them but suspect they will need replacing.

Been reading other posts about which tyre size is right but most of you have saloons, dunno if there is any difference as dont want it rubbing..

My Cav is lowered 40mm on Gmax springs but its a harsh ride and my local area is littered with speed humps and poor roads so could I get away with 215/40/17s???

My old cav had 17s on that profile... 48 offset I think... It's in my old project thread...
Mine was lowered 30-40mn had loads of clearance!!!
