Right so what tyres should I order? lol

Probably.......................

225/40/18 F 255/35/18 R

OR

235/40/18 F 265/35/18 R

This keeps the rolling radius similar.........Imho.

[Cally]

prolly go 235 and 265 then, will I have any problems with rubbing on the rear with those sizes?

[n4bes]

That\'s wot I have on mine. Dunno wot offset the wheel are tho.

I\'ve got Bilstein suspension and new rear bushes fitted and it\'s solid. I don\'t get any rub at all.

[Cally]

Think I will go for 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 then, cheers for the help.

[20B_boy]

I\'ve been looking at Ultralite wheel today too, was also wondering what offset and tyre size I shouls be going for.

Can someone confirm the offset for these size wheels?

Tar

[PIPFC]

offset should be 35 all round. that\'s what i have

[NurburgRob]

Sweeeeeet!!!!! get my bonus end of March, 18\'s here we come!

Who\'s doing the best prices on Ultralites? anyone?

[20B_boy]

Stock FD offset is 50 all round i tihnk? I have 35/38\'s on mine and they dont sit inside the arches well imo...

[sonyaddict]

and need tyres as the rims will be here tommorrow. Bought some ultralite taka\'s in 18" - 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears.

Does anyone know what tyre size I am best to run as I dont know what width etc is needed for an FD. Cheers.

Sorry to post this again...

18 & 17 Rex tyres..

225,40x18 matched to 255,35x18 (Fine)
or
235,40x18 matched to 265,35x18 (OK on an ET35 Rim Dodgy on ET30)

Then

225,45x17 matched to 255,40x17
or
235,45x17 matched to 265,40x17

Keeping rolling radius/tyre diameter the same as each other.

Tell me to nob off if you like ....

[Cally]
