17” wheels

People with 17” Wheels just wondering what tyre pressures you are using for road use - sticking to the standard or something different?

Thanks

I use the standard pressures recommended by the manufacturer. If you've calculated the tire size correctly you won't get much improvement in ride harshness by underinflating them. Probably wear through those new (and more expensive) tires more quickly too.

The reason I ask is that the front end feels a bit 'light'. My car came with a 45 offset.

If you don't mind me asking, what offset are yours and do they affect the 'feel'?

thanks

Offset will affect the ride for sure. My wheels are custom built to the original spec of 60 offset.

When I bought the car I was intending to swop the wheels pro race1.2s because they did a 55 offset. When I got round to ordering they had stopped manufacturing.

Thanks
