17 x 8 rims What tyres? - 20/06/2014 20:42
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.

So for the track ? Go for 235/45/17 but your speedo will be out , if for road then 215/45/17.

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?

Which Compomotives have you bought?

M O 1783 is the model number. With a ET 37. Needs a slightly shorter bolt.

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.

They will look very similar to this, except with the spoke going in at the edge of the rim, it will be flush
