    Best tyre sizes to get

    Hi,I want to put a set of revolution 8 spoke wheels on my semi tubbed,tarmac arched MK2.I want to run 8x15s on the front and 9x15s on the rear.Just wondered what you recommend in tyre size.The car is for road use and I am trying to prevent the rubbing of the front wheel on the inner arch at full lock.Is it best to run the same size tyres all round or different profiles on the front to the rear.Offset is 0 on fronts and -12 on the rears.The car will be lowered 2" at the rear,thanks for any info...

    You should be able to get 225's all round and there are lots of options in this size too.

    I run these on my 15x9 and 15x10's

    Cheers

    I have 8x15 5 spoke Revolutions on my flat front xpack, can't remember the off set. I have 205 on the the front and 225 on the rear. The fronts don't touch the inner wing on full lock but did the front valance which had to be trimmed back.
