45's


40's


Take notice of the gap between the tyre & mudflap.

Depends on the make of tyres too some brands like toyo's look even thinner.

kevs 40's



so far not seeing a huge difference in 40 and 45 ...
read somewere its about 20mm

moght come down to price cant justify for example 40s being £100 more than 45s per set

Very good tyres for the price,i don't rate toyos.

The 45's on camskill are only a few pence cheaper than the 40's

£280 would get you these fitted

If you can't afford it then you'd be better off with the 45's and a Tyre you like than getting something you weren't keen on and emptying your pocket

EDIT: £290 as I forgot postage

I think 40s would be needed to pull those wheels off tom.Will be worth paying the extra few quid.

Tyres are personal preference think. i've had allsorts but for the money i rate toyos and falkens equally, just budget tyres.

has anyone tries 185/45s?

might be cheaper and give the same visual effect due to some stretch

mark.w how very dare you ....

My toyo's 40 profiles handle unreal!! look much MUCH MUCHHHH better then 45's, best tyres ive ever owned IMO car handles mint 10/10 aswel and even in the wet never lost my car in wet never slid nothing.. Ask mieran hes seen the corsa in the damp handle.

BUTTT when my speedlines were getting re-furbed i fitted my mates falkens on speedlies and car slid and handled crap!! hence i love toyos love them never moving away from them either

when i eed to replace my tyres will be for toyo nothing else,
