2001 plate question

[Anonymous]

i have done a search for the info but cannot seem to find it so any help would be great!

i have a 2001 x plate with 15" stock alloys all round i was putting 17's on it but i have come across a set of 2003 stock alloys with no tyres at a really good price so 15" front and 16" rears so my question being,

will they go straight on my car with the stock tyre sizes without any probs because i know they also changed the suspension on the later models so would that make a difference to me putting them on an earlier model?

yes they should fit no probs.

i would recommend that you fit Toyo Proxies on them.  i do not have personal experience of them, but from what i understand the concensus on this forum is that these are very suitable for our cars.

is that yes they will go on with no probs or yes it will cause a problem?

undecided on tyres really there is that many different opinions on tyres same as sizes too there is that many different opinions which do you go with i was looking at 195/50/15 front and 225/50/16 rear

Sam,

I have the same 03 wheels on my car (which is X reg)

Currently on OE Yoko's, but just bought a set of Toyos based on the consensus of this forum. The added bonus is that they are just about the cheapest branded tyre available.

Most peeps go for

225/40/16 rear
and 195/50/15 front.

My tyres, all 4 for £170 delivered - Bargain.

search the forums, there are tyre threads galore!

but FYI i have the toyo proxies, and they're great. and i got mine from mytyres.com and all including delivery, fitting, balancing and alignment cost me £220 ish.

will be a little more with 16" on the the rear, hope this helps

[Chris_h]

RT - £210 incl fitting for 16"s and 15"s

Maybe the price came down.

[rtbiscuit]

got mine aligned as well which is about £30

Tyres = £170
fitting = £25
alignment = £30

all in £235

[Chris_h]

Gotcha!

Its all good - about the same price as 2 rears - assuming you could still buy em.
