Message: <blockquote data-quote="6UE5t" data-source="post: 1064712607" data-attributes="member: 103722">Not stupid la! 245/40 minimum width is 8jj and many cars use such setup. It's maximizing the tires size for the rim ma, to maximize grip. Remember the 8jj is on the INSIDE of the rims lip where the tire mounts and not the whole width. If you measure from real outer width, it will add another inch! So the exterior width of 8jj is actually about equal to 9 inch width! Now 9 inch = 22.9cm which is only 1.6cm narrower from a 245 tire width, so that 1.6cm extra is somewhat an extra protection of the rims too. If you use 8.5jj then it's very aligned/straight with 245 tires which is good also, so best fitment for 245 is 8-8.5jj. If use 9jj then the 245 tires will start to curve in/stretching, looking narrower than the rims and relying only on the tire rim protector (if existing) to protect the rims. I know all these because my front is 8jj while rear is 9jj and it got 245/40 for all when I bought them. The front looks more square fitment which IMHO looks nice while the rears look a bit stretching which I don't really like. Honestly if 9jj rims then better to use 255 or 265. BMW 5 series MSport uses even 275 with 9jj rims!The Livina now grips very well, very difficult to make it squeal or provoke the ABS in the dry! :lol: It's good for the safety of my wife & kids. Ideally though it should've used just 16' with 205/55/16 tires but I found the AVS rims used with still very good tires at bargain basement price! :lol:</blockquote>
