I ended up going for 205/50 on the front, down from 205/55 and 225/45 on the rear rather than the 225/50 so at least the overall diameter of the wheels is off by the same amount, this was with the Dunlop DZ-03g which is an excellent tyres and they were about £525 for the set.

When I had R888s I had 245/45 on the rear and 205/55 on the front. All sizes were readily available, but they are very expensive (roughly double the cost of the RE002s.)

I was just wondering if you can run wider tires on standard wheels? I looked at Toyo's website and I can get 215/50ZR16 and 245/45ZR16 only thing is I intend to fit coilovers later on and although am not wanting to lower it much am not wanting the tires to rub.
