Tyre Help Please
Hi,
I have a 1989 C4 and have potentially picked up some wheels that will set the car off, all will be revealed at a later date providing I can arrive at a solution for this.
They are 16x8 fronts and 16x10 rears, and I am conscious that if I get the rolling radius wrong I'll end up winding the diff up. It looks as thought the widest tyres for the rear will be 245/45/16 which is not ideal as the tyre will be a little stretched. What would therefore be the best option for the front?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Matt,
I'm afraid those wheels are not going to fit. The offsets are for the pre-964 cars and will stick out too far and will contact the bodywork. Besides, a 245/45 tyre is too narrow for a 10 inch wheel anyway.

Dave
