Tyre sizes and TC please

[The Hofff]

ok, few questions about tyre sizes and bits....

1) Please can someone tell me the OEM sizes for the 18" CV8 and 19" XVR please. 235/45/18 and 235/40/19?

2) Will CV8 alloys fit over the VXR brakes (front and rear)?

3) If the front wheels are on 18's and the rear are on 19's will this upset the traction control

4) Is there a switch to turn off the TC?

5) Will a 245/45/18 fit on CV8 wheels

Cheers for any help in advance!

Hofff.

2) YES

4) Yes, by the window switches in the centre the button with TC on it does the job (TC lights up on dash when disabled)

the 18s and 19s are different styles so it will upset the fashion police more than handling. The TC button is right next to drivers seat, cv8 alloys fit over vxr brakes

Try to keep rolling circumference the same

255/40x18 fit on CV8 rims fine, and look much better too.

Go for 235 or 245 at the front on 45.

2) CV8 alloys do fit over VXR brakes but the standard CV8 space saver wheel does not fit on the front after that

on vxr breaks? Never tried when I upgrade the brakes - you certain? Its the advantage of having same size rears just put a rear on the front space saver on the back.

Yes that works. Just trying to save the OP a bit of time in case he ever gets stuck. I know somebody who went and put the space saver on the front and couldn't work out why it would not tighten up for a while.
