Are my wheels to small
I've recently become a little worried that my MK Indy 215/40/17 wheels (one the right) may be a little small.......
What do you guys think

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

The big ones will do wonders for ground clearance on the Indy though - monster truck stylee

Jeezzzus Andy,
Just what are you trying to compensate for?
I'm joking with you brother! LOL

nah I'm more into whips and leather
On a more serious note these are the new tyres for my Midi..... and yes they are 345/35/19 and mind blowingly huge.
They are now on my rims and fill my newly made arches perfectly so are the size I was expecting but in person they are a bit OMG
But if they are good enough for an Enzo they are good enough for my little midi.

At least you'll have the power for them. Putting tires like that on a Locost would kill acceleration due to high rotational inertia.
