stock FTO wheel size

Post by FTOnick »

What is the stock FTO wheel size, is it 225/50 ? EDIT: Found the wheel size it's 205/50/R16 ?

And how do you work out/estimate how much tread is left on a tyre?

Thanks

the deep grooves in the tyres have tread wear indicators, as soon as the surface level of the tyre aligns with the indicator, your tyre is illegal. as for gauging % of tread from standard, it's guessing comparison to the same tyre in brand new condition.

The standard wheels can be different sizes depending on the model too. I know some GR's can have a smaller standard size wheel

    Found the search button you guys keep going on about :cheers:

    Anyway, what is the size of the standard FTO 16s? Will a 225/XXR16 or something like that fit on there? Have a mate at work getting rid of some almost brand new Yoko semis and theyre a 225/50R16 (think 50.. could be wrong)
