Just bought some new alloys
18 x 8.5 Front
18 x 9.5 Rear
The car is lowered by 40mm
What profile tyres would i need?? anyone else got the same set-up??
Nice easy one :)
Go 235/40 x 18 on the front and 265/35 x 18 on the rear.
Lots of people run this setup on 18\'s, so no worries there.
The crucial thing is the offset of the wheels, any ideas?
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm i dunno was assured they would fit lol
says on website offset 30.

If you dont keep the overall diameter the same as when it was on 16 your speedo will all be out.
235x40 fronts and 265x35 rears
doh beat me to it
will they fit fine with it lowered 40mm?
You might get a bit of rubbage with the inner liner, particularly when turning tightly? 40mm is a fairly big drop!
Sorry Gary, just got in there first ;)
ok thanks for the help, hopefully wont rub 2 much.

I have been chasing Ferodo every week for my order, they tell me they are waiting for back plates. Will chase again on Monday.
