Hi there again folks
just a quick one, what size of tyres and make are people running on these wheels, currently have 234/40/r18 can you put on a 225 without issues or better to stick to the 235?
cheers

You could fit 225s, but why would you want to? We've stuck to 235/40/18s, but toying with the idea of spacers and 245/40/18s or 245/35/18s.
Mmmm, interesting. never thought about it in that way. i will need to look into this further :)
cheers
Do 235s not rub when on lock? 225's sound a more sensible size tbh
I didn't have spacers And had 245/40/18s
They were listed with 225/40/18s in US iirc but I use 235/40/18s when putting tyres on.
I assumed they were going on the Saffy....for a P2 V70R then 235s are spot onQuote:

As you do get it colder than us down south.
yeah, i bought a set of winter/snow tyres 2 years ago and since then i have had no snow up here...sods law but not complaining. i have 345's on just now with no rubbing so i will just go with that tyre size.probably a half decent set of all weather ones.
yeah i dont have that saffy anymore but cant figure out how to change the picture.Quote:

I have noticed that with my car on full lock they just touch on one side of the inner plastic trim, but as you are only travelling slow it is not a problem.
Good luck with the choices available, and the budget you will need.
Assuming P2, 235/40 18 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti are very good.
