I'm looking at 24x61x17 slicks, what does this equate to in like 225x45 etc... please?

I presume these are the BFGoodrich's?

They're probably something like a 235 x 35 at a guess. Comparing mine to my 235/45 Goodyear F1s they're a probably a good cm lower.

Yeh, good guess at the BF Goodridges, how'd you know?

Will the 235's fit on standard wheels (currently have 225x45's on there)?

235s will fit but not be the ideal choice: the tyre will be a little large for the rim. They will look like they lack air if you know what I mean. That's why Mitsubishi increased the rim width on the 7...
