    Hi guys!

    I just had my F430 fitted with some brand new Michelin PS4s tyres in the standard sizes which means 225 wide in the front. The standard and the Challenge Style F430 wheels are 7.5J wide and 225 is the recommended tyre size.

    I really like the look of it, but I still catch myself contemplating the Scuderia wheels. The rear wheel sizes and offsets are the same so that should not be a problem, but the front Scuderia wheels are 8J wide instead of 7.5J and have a recommended and standard tyre size of 235 wide.

    Would it cause an issue if I were to keep my brand new Michelins 225 wide and fit them on the 8J wide Scuderia front wheels? Or is it money down the drain for the front tyres and do I need to invest in new 235 rubber as well?

    Many thanks for the input!

    I went through all of this

    225 is correct for f430
    Rolling dia is different for 235 and scud has different e diff calibration etc
    225-235 can be used in 8 inch, 215-225 for 7.5 I believe
