Whats the largest tyre you can put on them? I'm going to be putting slicks/cut slicks on them and need to know before i order.

Cheers

ummmm, My phase2's are 185/55/15 as im sure you know, Think from reading on here some ppl have 195/??/15 but not heard any bigger than 195

They take a 195/50/15 ok, as the seller has this size. I was wondering if you could get a 205 or 215 on there

I have 205/50 on 15 inch rims at the mo..no issues with fouling. Im looking to see if 205/50 16 will fit without catching.

The Clio group N rally cars run 20/61 16 michelin slicks so it may well be possible unless the car is lowered mega low on coilovers.

People have 17 inch wheels and tyres and lowered (not coilovers) and no issues that im aware of.

well, hopefully ill get the wheels in the next few days, get them refurb'd in a nice vibrant colour and get them clad in those cuts we were talking to that gent about at Autosport. Either that or the full slicks and take them in the boot next time we go to Germany/track days

Nice one...! Im close to choosing my tyres now.

remember you can't run full slicks at the ring, they have to be road legal tyres

Yeah, these are going to be cut (road legal) due to the Rings rules. I probably wouldnt bother with full slicks anyway given the unreliability of the english weather this year. Wait till next year when i can get a second set of rims and have both options
