What R-spec tyres are there that come in the NC's 205/45/17 size? It seems like almost everyone has 205/40/17 tyre, but not 205/45/17.

Iâ€™m running 225x50x16s. Cheaper than 17s and with the 8â€ rim weighs is only 0.5 kg over the standard 17â€ tyre and rim. Overall circumference is almost the same as the OEM wheel.

Yep, Series 6. 16 x 8 with a 50 offset.

DavidM, why are you worried about running a 40 series tyre?

You will have better acceleration from the 3.2% lower rolling length running a 40 series tyre.

I know Chris (MX5Racing) is running D02s, either in a 215/45 or 225/45, why not drop him a line and ask his advice?
