Yes mate 7" f & 8" r ,The reason i raised the question is because i need a new tyre for the rear, as the existing one looks as though it has been driven whilst flat or low pressure and would like to get it right, so thanks for the advice you guys.Kos wrote:205/50 and 225/45 is what you sould have, have you got 7j and 8j rims??
