    18's on an 855? do they fit? 225 40 18

    Wanting to put the wheels off my p2 on my 855.
    Will they fit? 18"x8" with 225 40 tyres. I believe the offset to be 42.

    Why is it that Amaltheas always look good on the early models and crap on the cars they were designed for?

    That's one of the reasons I painted mine.

    Strangely, Comets look superb on a P2.

    To confirm.... Yes... Phase 1 V70 T5 (iamawookie's car now).

    Had 235/40/18 on the Tritons. Bit Wobbly on the corners though and yes they rubbed at full lock.

    Car was also run with VST 18 alloys with 225/40/18 which were much better for handling.
