I plan to get rims and new tires for the winter. My rims are 18" Trophy version. I might switch to 17" winter ones.
I know that the dimensions of the tires are: 235/45/18 and 215/50/17.
The point is that the diameter of these two dimensions is different. An 18" tire has a larger diameter than a 17" tire.
For a 17" tire to be the same diameter as an 18", the tire would need to be 215-55-17.
I know what the factory dimensions are and that's not a problem, but I know that the speedometer will show about ~6km (4ml) less with the factory 17" dimension.
Question is, has anyone tried putting 215-55-17 tires on the MG4? Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like? Thanks in advance to everyone who answers.
