Runflats are doing my **** in folks especially when i did 800 miles last week on em.

Anyone know if 225/45's could be squeezed onto Flame spokes?

(reason i ask is i have a set of tyres in shed :thumbs up:)

TIA

I used to scrub a little on 215/45 on my old alloys, though my mini is a r50. I would say it would be tight
Hopefully someone else can help more

I think spacers will be required if you fit 225:Whistle:

Likewise.. I have the same on mine, and the rear ones sometimes rub on the plastic arches on big bumps while enjoying some 'spirited' driving, or with more than 2 people in the car.. I thin 225s would be a nightmare.. for you *and* the car.. :sad:
