    Yeah they'll fit.

    225 tyres are about your limit

    Thanks mate, thought so do you think 225/35 or 225/40 are a better fit

    Can't remember now tbh.

    I THINK I have 40s on my 18" replica Pegs. They would certainly make the ride much less harsh than 35s too.

    I'll check when I get home tonight if Nobody's given a definitive answer by then

    Just checked mine and yeah, it's on 225/40/18s.
    I tried my Nebs on a C70 with 235/45s and they wouldn't fit. Nowhere near, as the tyre fouled the spring pan on the strut.

    From memory, you'll probably need to run a small spacer on the rear to stop rubbing on the inner arch, as pretty much all P2 wheels do.
    My fake Pegs don't rub without them for some reason, maybe a slightly different offset.

    You'll definitely need C70 lock stops either way.
