ZENDER ALLOYS !! what tyres for my 156??

ZENDER ALLOYS 17 inch !! what tyres for my 156??standard car not lowered etc

i have a 1999 156 2.5 v6, and wsa wondering what tyre sizes i shound put on or could get on without any rubbing.

i was guessing at 225 45 17 and i can toyo proxies for £90 a wheel at that size.

thanks for your help

The standard size is 215/45x17 - this is for the standard Alfa 7x17" wheels with an offset of 40.5mm

The GTA uses 225/45x17 wheels on 7.5x17" wheels with 35mm offset.

So depends on the rim width and offset of your wheels

Thanks Pascs for the quick reply Cheers ..

i have toyo proxes4 on my car (225/35/19). they offer good grip, but a little too noisy for my liking not bad, but not the best. the original bridgestone RE050 were considerably quieter, but also 'hard' in terms of ride comfort (must have stiff sidewalls).

study the tread pattern of the proxes4 closely and i suspect the lack of perfectly 'straight' central water channels contributes to noise issues. the sides of the channels are slight jagged. again, not bad in terms of noise, but i would like quieter. and otherwise a top value tyre.
