I know the T hasn't even been released yet but already I'm planning mods.:nonono:
Trouble is I don't think there are many suitable wheel/tyre sizes that come in a similar overall diameter to the T's oddball 235/60/17's. Remember these are being specially made by Goodyear for this car and are not a common off-the-rack size, especially in Australia.
235/60/17's have a diameter a smidge over 28"
(metric just doesn't work well for this comparison)
If sticking with the 17's an alternative would be 255/55/17 which is just a bit wider to better fill out those guards and is also ~28" tall. You can also choose between manufacturer's in either all-season for your AWD T or high-performance for your RWD T.
But what if you want to go to a larger rim, 18" or even 20" (19" are becoming a rarity).
I like the look of these;
BOSS Motorsport 301's (18x8" or 20x8.5")
To come in at 28" I reckon the ideal sizes would be 255/50/18 or 255/40/20.
I found one high-performance Pirelli in the 18" size but the closest for the 20" is 245/40/20 which takes it's diameter down to 27.6" which is probably OK because of your going 20's your probably lowering the car too.
There's plenty of sizes up to ~27" and then again from ~29" and bigger (for the US SUV's) but very little around 28" tall.
Any other suggestions ???
