Wheel sizes

Post by NLB2024 » Tue Feb 20, 2024 10:43 pm

Folks, some advice, I have the potential to buy some new wheels however they are 235/65/R17

Anyone tried 17" with 65 depth? I'm thinking they might be too big

Advice appreciated !!

Tyre size calculator might be useful:

Plenty of others will show with a search.

Main thing is, I guess you’re looking at alloys, are they up to the weight of a Bongo?

Many alloys are only suitable for use on a much lighter vehicle. :wink:

Coming off a cx5 which has a kerb weight the same or more so I'm now worried about weight.

The diameter via the tyre size calc is showing as pretty big so I'm concerned about rubbing so really looking to see if anyone has put this combo on
