215/50-15 tyres
 
I gather that these are now no longer available, so most people run on the 225,s if they have the 8 inch wheel, my 225,s catch the arches, does anybody know of a 225 that doesnt foul the inner rim of the wheel arches, I,ve been told that some tyres differ in their finished width from manufacture by at least ten percent. Maybe I will just have to modify my front and rear arches on the inner lip. I,ve seen these toyo track day tyres but they look awful and wear out way too quick.

my local garage could still get 215 50 15 in dunlop, @£100, each, that was about 1 mnth ago, 225 much cheaper.....,falkens are a good budget tyre here and a performance one in nz, had them on my rs2 till i went to goodyear f1.
