Correct Elite Tyres - 235/45 R17 ?
« on: 17 November 2008, 09:34:38 »

--Just bought a second-hand 2001 Elite --

It has the 17 inch Elite alloy wheels.

The current tyres are 235/45 R17 97W tyres.
But should it not have 205/65 ?

On another note - the car has cronic (visible to the naked eye) negative camber (same on both front wheels) - do I need to replace the suspension or wishbones?

Thanks

235/45/ZR17 (or W) for 2001.

Get the full geometry checked.  If near London, http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk in south Buckinghamshire come highly recommended by many members, myself included.
