Good site. Had a quick read at bits and seems very well put together. Nice :)

What is the general opinion... I\'m thinking of putting 255/40R18\'s on the rear with standard 225/45R18\'s on the front... but by all accounts this is pushing the boundaries of what I can get on 8" rims... mind you I currently have 245/35\'s on the rear and 225/40 on the front (Long story) which is about 5% small, but looks OK, and performs well...

Suffice to say that the 245 tyres don\'t seem to be excessive on the 8" rims... so I think I could get away with 255\'s (for the rolling diameter)...

Comments?

Of course the next problem is that Eagle F1\'s don\'t seem to be available in 225/45.... Errr anyone know different?
