ive got 275/35\'s on my ultralite 18\'s. there also 9.5 wide
they havnt caused me any problems, but 265\'s will probably be beta.
k just measured the wheels as theres no markings on the j sizes, rears are 11.5", fronts 10", thought id have needed bigger arches for those sizes?
Also anyone recomend a good tyre thats resonalbly priced lol, falkens are 100 quid each and dunlops 110.. :S
Don\'t forget mate the width of the rim is measured at the point where the tyre beed seals on to the rim so you can probably knock 1inch off that if you measured from the inner to the outer most points on the rim.
I\'d say 265 rear and 235 on the front

Reckon Jono\'s spot on there. I\'ve got 235 front, 265 rear on mine, no issues at all (other than the sh!t refurbishing I need to get re-done!), no rubbing at all is what I mean. You can\'t really measure the width when there\'s a tyre on there. My rears are ten inch wide, the front nine, so you should be cool with yours
It totally depends on the offset as to what size tyre you can run - the width of the rim becomes a bit redundant past a certain point, it\'s the tyres size and offset that make good fitment :)
I think that current setup looks ace, although I\'m a bit of a stretch head ;)
If it were me, i\'d be sticking with the same size and spacing the wheel out a bit, maybe with a small lip roll ;)
well i like the look on the rears but the fronts just take the pee lol.. the tyre sits about 1cm before the wheel lip :S
