Maybe not.

I got better spec discs and pads, that's as far as I'm going there. The AT tyres on 15" stop a lot quicker than the road tyres on 17", probably makes up for the difference...

Hope you could return the 15" rims.

Hey now !

Any thoughts on 215/60 R16

Fit ? Has anybody fitted these ?

Seem OK on the tyre size comparison site -
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1 ... 0mm&sr=0mm

These seem to get good reviews for noise and wet/dry stopping power in the smaller 205.

1 dB quieter in 205/60

Only 6mm more sidewall so is it worth it ?

Downsides of wider tyres ???

Good or Bad

Got 215 60 16 on mine with no issues.

Thanks Greg,

Also is there a way to tell if 15" wheels will fit or not, other than trying one?

Greg - Sorry for the belated response to your questions about fitting a spare wheel carrier on a Maxi 4 Motion.

In case you have not spotted it you may want to see this thread..

Hmmm, suggest you read all of the posts in this thread.

Thanks have done ...
I think you said 671mm max, but I was just wondering if anybody had tested the 2mm larger size. All tyre calc sizes are nominal and different manufacturers/tyre versions could well be slightly different !

From my experience, I think you'd have problems if the tyre was about 20mm wider (than the 205/70R15 tyre I used), as the closest point to touching is at the bottom of the rear inner arch (where the clearance is probably 10mm). In that case, you could either cut it or heat and mold it away from the tyre (or just let the tyre rub a hole in it).

Thanks

BTW, that size is circumference, so I don't think a few mm makes a big difference.

Haha, oops, been too long since I had to think about this. It's diameter. The tread wear is more than 2mm, so the tolerances are bigger.

Afternoon fellas,

Have seen some chat about running 215 65 R16? Anyone tried it?

Rubbing on inner arch on the rear was mentioned but this seems minor and easy to sort with some spacers, but must be pretty tight on the front on full lock…
