If so, here's a neat calculator that will tell you what size tire will allow you to maintain your original overall tire height. Pretty cool IMO. www.dsm.org/tools/tiresize.htm-Shawn |

Quick note 115mm is approximately = to 4.528in. Interpreted a 5x4.5 lug pattern rim should fit only 28thousandths over.

Here's the manual calculation for tire diameter :
tire section X (aspect ratio divided by 100) divided by 12.7 +rim diameter
Example 235/55-17
step 1:235 x .55 = 129.25
step 2: 129.25 divided by 12.7 = 10.177
step 3: 10.177 + 17 = 27.177 inches.
It's easier to carry a pocket calculator to the tire store than a laptop...

very nice L-32. i want to put some centerlines on a 98. (non-autobahn) the wheels i like are forged billet aluminum 18 x 7's with a 5 x 115mm bolt pattern. i want to wrap them in michelin pilot sport a/s plus-235/50 zr 18's. the wheels have a 42mm offset, which i don't believe is correct for the aurora. anyone know if this will work without causing problems?

Not my car, I found this on google, actually I'm almost 100% sure this is another member "pitt" 's car  Also you might want to browse this thread, should be plenty of examples, one on this page actually. |

Yeah Pitt sold that car for barely over the price of the corsa exhaust IIRC  It was also lowered so don't expect that stance with just putting 18's on. |

2001 Aurora 4.0L, dark green
Numerous Rovers!
I found two odd tires: 225/65/R17 and put them on the back. Despite the 2' greater diameter, they don't rub and the speedo is not affected. A bit rakish too.
