g60luke Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hey everyone. Only had my GT4 a few days, and as part of the deal when I bought it from the garage was they were replacing the rear tyres. On collecting the car and gettin it home, the back tyres are 225/45/18s (like the front) On my mates 350 GT (non GT4) he has 245s on the back, and my manual says that they should be 245s on the rear too.. Can you confirm 2 things for me please? 1. Am I correct in assuming that the rears are meant to be 245s? 2. Is the actual front/rear rim different to accomodate the different sizes or will the rims take 225 or 245s within their 'J' rating? Cheers Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yes the rears should be 245. The rear rims are slighty wider 8 front 8.5 rear And you must have the correct wheel sizes fitted because iirc they are not interchangeable from front to rear. So you have the wrong size tyre fitted to the rears. I would get this sorted a.s.a.p. May well be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd get the garage to change that. That could cause problems with the traction control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
