Please can anyone advise if the above size tyre fits on the front without issues... This is with 100mm front ride hight, if this makes any difference.
Kind regards, Paul

You will at least need the wheel arch extenders and the correct offset (25 to 20), but not sure it is enough with 100 mm front ride height.

Houps sorry my comments were for 215/45/17 tyres.

Grippy for sure!

They look close to the arch! Any scrubbing issues?
What made you choose this size? Lack of availability of a differen size or are you looking for different performance from the tyres?

You will get inner arch scrubbing issues when turning with more than half lock. I did with 205/50/16's

I got that with 195 R888's but solved it by leaving it and scrubbing a hole through the arch liners. Nothing there to foul anymore, even with the 205 R1R's.

A tiny bit of arch scrub when first fitted but not heard anything since. No problems at all during hasty road driving. After 150 miles I am now getting some feel back from them.
Kind regards, Paul

The extra circumferance was one of the reasons for going up in size.
