Hi Gents, signed for the 06 4.8 grx today, they will be putting some new bf's before delivery. What size do you recomend? Suspension is standard for now but I will lift it in thee coming months. Rim size 17.

The 285 is perfect and the 4.8 doesn't even feel the size increase...

Now I am sorry that I didnt see your reply till now!
Wasnt happy with the hardterrain tyres on her an had the dealer fit all terrains, we searched everywhere and there was no stock of my prefered brands in the 17".they thus fitted some larger size maxtek all su 810s and no extra cost, better than the hard terrians but still not sure of them?

Am enjoying the car thouroughly though,
Thanks again
