Any pics of 225/50 tyres on 17” alloys

Afternoon all

My dads just bought a set of 17” Meteor wheels for his 75

Tyres are completely shot so all 4 need replacing

They are currently 225/45 but I’m thinking 225/50 would like better Considering the relatively big arch gap? Know the other recommended is 215/50 but that limits options are seem more pricey.

I’ve tried to search but couldn’t find much, just looking for some images for comparison.

Cheers

John

I put 225/50 on mine, it rides less harsh and fills the arch a bit better
