[V8] V8 17" Tire Size

[Ron Wainwright]

Thank you for the confurmation bastian... I thought the other Bloeros were ET40.
 All so, I think I've seen people say that the ET40 Bloeros are made differentley than the ET35 Boleros... do you have any info on that?

 & the "Correct" tire size... @ least here in America.... is 235/45 for 17" rims. 
 225/50 for 16"

 Ron
