Default Tyre Query

Hi

I currently have some aftermarket 17" alloys on my Fabia, which currently has 205/40/R17 tyres fitted.

Been offered some tyres cheap but they are 235/45/R17, will these fit or should I not bother.

Hi Nokiauk

The Difference in circumference is 149.22mm or 7.79% So when your speedo reads 70mph, you're actually travelling at 75.58mph
