Detailed tire and wheel breakdown for the 2019 Lotus Exige
Tire geometry â 205/45R17
The 205/45R17 fitted to the 2019 Lotus Exige has a section width of 205mm and an aspect ratio of 45%, mounted on a 17-inch rim. That gives a sidewall height of 92.3mm (3.63") and an overall outside diameter of 616.3mm (24.26"). At highway speed this tire completes roughly 516 revolutions per kilometre, which is what your speedometer and odometer are calibrated against.
Plus-sizing window
If you want to upsize wheels on the 2019 Lotus Exige while keeping the speedometer accurate, target a 215/37R18 (plus-one). For a softer ride or winter setup, a 195/54R16 (minus-one) keeps the overall diameter within Âą3% of stock, which is the industry tolerance for ABS and stability control to stay calibrated.
Wheel fitment specs
The 2019 Lotus Exige uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 68.0mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 7.0J â 8.0J, and offsets in the ET21 â ET31 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.
Staggered setup notes
The 2019 Lotus Exige ships staggered: 205/45R17 up front and 265/35R18 on the rear. That is a 265mm vs 205mm width difference â do not rotate front-to-rear, and replace tires in axle pairs to keep ABS and traction control balanced.
Tire pressure guidance
Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 2019 Lotus Exige is printed on the driver-side door jamb sticker â always defer to that value, not to the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall. Check pressure monthly and before long trips; under-inflation by 20% can reduce tread life by 25%.
