Style 290 alloys.

[Stash36]

Hi, help please.
I have 17" 290 alloys and they have 225x45 on the front and 255x40 on the rear. I assume the wheels are slightly wider at the back to accommodate this, 8.5 inch v 8" at the front, is this correct?
I cannot find an 8.5" version anywhere. On eBay full sets seem to be 225x45 on all four corners.
Need to replace one of the rears, what am I missing?

The wheels may not be wider, they may just have had wider tyres fitted.
Need to remove them and check against each other.

290 are only available in 8x17, so it’s just the tyres which are different. A decent set of 290 wheels was listed on eBay this morning.

Brilliant, thanks both.

You should only really have max 245 section tyre on an 8J alloy….
