New Tyres for my Cali V6 ` 94

Johnny Calibra · Geschrieben: 11.02.2005 - 05:06

For my Cali V6 from ` 94, I want to buy new wheels. Someone with an another Calibra said to me that on the front axle, a tyre couldn`t be wider than 205 mm, otherwise the tyre would damage itself on the bodywork while cornering. However, there are plenty of Calibra`s with wider tires than 205 on the front axle. So...

Would a tyre size 215/45/R17 or 215/40/R17 fit (on the front or rear axle) without any problems or (needed) modifications???

Also, with that 17" tyre, lowering the car with 40mm (front and rear) wouldn`t give problems as well? Not even if there are 4 people and/or luggage in the car?

Thanks for answering.

PS. Tut mir leid, mein Deutsch ist nicht gut genug um ganz alles in Deutsch zu schreiben...

Hi

Here are some users who driving 215/40R17 tires on their Calibra, whitout any bodywork. Some of them are also lowered 40mm.

They wrote, that they had no Problems at the German TÜV.

So it`s possible to drive this combination at your cali, it depends generally of the "ET" (Einpresstiefe) of your Rim.

I´m driving 8x18" ET 35 rims with 215/35/R18 tires on my Cali, the only condition was, that i had to cut a part of my inner mudguard (the black plastic) and i had to bend the edges of my mudguard at the front axle.
