    what tyres would you run? lollllllllllll.

    did you not understand eveyone in

    17" tyres are not as cheap as 14 or 13inch tyres...

    225/45/17s i got a set here they fit without scrapige and all that just want to know if it will be suitable as i dnt wanna sell them either.
    My other option is can i run 13" on the front and any other size on the rear is that ok cause i got 13x7 +8 on the front and there cool but the ones id run on the bak will have to be 13 14 15 x 6
    Any it wont go throught tyres often

    dont bother, get 14's for the front, a pair of 14x7 will be cheap enough. If not 13's then 15's. 17s are massive. havnt we been through this in another thread about your car or something?

    eerrmm... why dont you just try them?

    i ran 16x8s on my kesev, they felt nice to drive on, no tyre roll at all that you could feel so it would turn in quite sharp.

    maybe you should just save for a better car? ke55 isnt the best base to start from.
