Suggested tire sizes

[hrosenthal]

I'm trying to get a handle on the possible tire configurations for the Roadster.
If anyone can simply tell me what sizes they have on their front and rear tires, I'd appreciate it.
Please mention if any modification to the base package design was required.
Pictures would be great too.
Thanks

A pretty standard tire set up is a 255/40/17 front and a 315/35/17 rear.

275/40R17 in front, 315/35R17 in rear. No modification needed. Kumho Ecsta XS - Purchased from Tire Rack

For 17" wheels I concur with Gordon. If you are using 15 inchers then 235/60-15 front and 295/50-15 for the rear. All of this presumes Fox width rear end.

275 and 315s. I did have to do the 315 mod since my car is an old MkII.

My set up is 245/45-17 front and rear with no mods and no problems. I had to use 17's because of the Ford Racing M2300K brake package that I used has 13" front discs.

On my MK1

F = 235 60 15
R = 295 50 15

The 295's fit perfectly without any Mods.
