As above. I'm looking for info for the tyre size needed for the rims in the thread title.
Ideally i would like to put on Toyo 888s.

Thanks Nismo. I was thinking of 215/40/17 for track as it gives a tad more room around the suspension leg and arch when braking.
What do you reckon?

Fantastic choice, I love these! What colour did you go for and, more importantly, where did you get them from!? Compomotive told me they had none...

I have the silver ones. It was just a bit of luck. A young French Lancia delta owner bought them in May,but his circumstances changed.
I found them for sale on a French selling site.
300 mile round trip on friday afternoon for a test fitting and the deal was done.
They are totally brand new and were cheap compaired to prices here.
Compomotive have been very difficult to deal with when i tried to buy direct. Hey ho thier loss.
