Title: Front tire fitment.
Post by: Vroom_vroom on February 17, 2022, 08:24:10 PM: Wondering if anyone has had any luck fitting a 255/60/15 up front on a second gen? Gonna need new tires soon and want to put a bigger tire than the 235 that’s on it at the moment.

255/what-19, you have to give the aspect ratio or those numbers are meaningless.

Thanks

That's the problem with going the same size tyre all round on these cars, the wheel arches are not the same like modern cars and the wider front track exaggerates it even more.
