275's are not factory standard. Your 275/40's are only 95% of the circumference of the standard tyres. The 275/50's are 102% which is a lot closer.

Someone else will be along soon to tell you it doesn't matter or you should rush to the tyre depot for the correct tyres.

Well you know that 275's are all wrong - but you have the wrong width wheels (from a sport), so you're trying to make do.

You know that 255 50 20 are the right size.

I'm pretty sure the vehicle is not type approved with non factory set ups, so insurance will be invalid. Not sure how you'd still get away with it if you told them to be honest.........

I'm no expert though.

Each to his own.

I like the stormers, but I'd get a set of supercharged l322 ones, as they look very similar and will be the right width.

Why would you buy the wrong wheels for the car, then put brand new wrong tyres on them?

On a lighter note...................It was once said to me that the guys with the little wil*ys have the biggest tyres.

Most people have their own ideas on what is right and we all have different tastes when it comes to shoes/tyres.

The fact here is that 275/40x20 is wrong for the car. Andy....

i've splashed the cash, again, and bought some 275/45r20's for it which according to the tyre wholesalers are the closest I will get.

The reason I have these wheels is because a guy with a Sport asked me to swap my 19's for his 20's, so I did!

And I'm on a trade policy so I'm insured to drive anything up to £100,000 and I've made a point of having it cover all modifications because in my line of work I get to drive customers 500bhp Evo's and Imprezas regularily.

So some guy asked you to swap and you just said 'ok'?

I have some golden liquid I'd like to swap your RR for.
