Using a 215/45 will affect the rolling radius more than a 225. Compared to the original 205/50, the 215/45 will lead to an error in the speedo reading and lower the ride height (-5.75 mm). A 225/45 will pretty much preserve the rolling radius. This on-line calculator is good for comparing different tyre sizes:

Paid a visit to 9e today, detailing is done, just a couple of bits of trim to re-fit. Very shiny.

Looking sweet. Are you sure you haven't left some paving slabs on the back sats?

I've just got to find someone to sort the bolster in the driver's seat.

Southbound want crazy money. I got a (too)cheap quote a while back from a guy recommended by the classic car place I bought the car from but i didnt get a goid vibe. Thinking of Benchmark Leather - seams to have good rep here and on PH.

Any other suggestions for competent trimmers in the south east?
