Trying to compile a list of tyre options for the OZ Racing rims which are a popular choice as an after market upgrade for Rover K series engined S2 Elises and OEM on the Elise S2 135R.
The OZ Rim sizes are: -
| Front
|
6.5J x 16" ET31
|
| Rear
|
7.5J x 17" ET18
|
The prices listed are only approximations for a complete (4tyre) set!
The ideal sizes for the rims are 195x50 R16 (front) and 225x45 R17 (rear). However not all manufacturers make a 50 ratio front in 195 R16 so some people use a 45 ratio front. For this reason the tyres are split into two sections, 45 ratio and 50 ratio. The consequences of running 45 front have been descussed here [link to seloc thread].
