Anyone know if any sizing adjustments need to be made in switching from OEM RE 050's to RE 01R's on stock AP2 rims?

 

theres a sticky right on the top of this forum

 

For the RE01R's you can do 215/245 and 225/255 without any problems. If you want a setup that's closest to the OEM RE050 stagger (for some reason the RE050 215's have an unusually small contact patch), you can also do 215/255.

 

what is the recommended size for a ap2? looking to get the re-01r or the eagle f1...

i would like to try to keep it oem specs....

215/245?

 

215/245 is stock...however these sizes don't directly translate to other tires outside the RE050's. So do some homework.

225/255 is a popular change.

 

yea i would do a search... but the search doesnt work at the moment...

i have oem wheels with 18 mm spacers... would the 225/255 make my tires stick out more?

i know the stock re05 is different for a 215/245 (i think smaller)... so im looking for something would be the same... in size... but in a re01r or a f1...

 

The 215/45R17 and 255/40R17 would be the closest match to keep the same amount of stagger. I have sold 225/45R17 front with the 255/40R17 rear and I have sold the 215/45R17 with the 245/40R17 rear. With etither set up you get an excellent handling tire.
If I can help let me know.

 

Jim,

Any issue with clearance or bump steer with 225/45R17 tires on the front? They're 1.3 inches wider than the stock RE 050s.

Thanks.

 

No.
