Hi again, just fitted my 18's on my car 10x18 rear 8x18 front 265/35x18 rr 235/40x18 front anyone else out there with same set up who can advise on pressures. Set mine at 2.2 bar rear and 2 bar frt

 

Hi Zaz what wheels did you end up getting?

Told you that you can get 10s under standard

arches.

 

What the fuck are these bar things???? Not accurate enough

 

One thing is you need to run the fronts at about 40psi to stop the edges feathering off......

 

CheerZ,

I was once advised to increase stock psi by 2 for each drop in profile - e.g. going from a 245/45 to a 265/35 is "two drops in profile" so you should go up 4 psi.

 

I've found it to be a good enough starting point but get on a country lane and hammer it. If one end of the car feel imprecise then try increasing pressure. If it slides with little warning then drop a bit.

 

If you have trouble telling the difference then try it was excessivly high and low pressures briefly and you'll know what you're looking for (but not both at the same time!).

I ended up getting the Antera 143's

I got the same size tyres and need new rears. What kind of deal did you find? Ive been quoted some very silly prices even over £200 per tyre.
