Default dont have my size!

Hey guys, I ordered a rear set of hankook Ventus R-S2 for the rear in size 245/45/16 (im using OEM wheels) well i went to order a set for the front, i think i need 205/55/16 for the front?? but all i can find is 205/50/16s will these be fine for the front? i want to keep the same type of tire all around! i really dont think a 50 will make that much diff. will it?

Thanks


Josh

It'll just give you a slightly smaller diameter front tire and the worst it'll do is to make the wheel well opening appear a bit more "spacious". Handling wise, I don't see any major adverse affects.

Don't do it. The anti lock brakes will not function correctly.

Call whatever shop you're ordering from and get the correct size. Hankook does make the RS2 is 205/55. If you want to dial out any understeer, run 225/50 up front. I still think it looks funny but handles awesome.

Keep looking for the right size tire, assuming it's actually manufactured...
