I am mooving up to 18" wheels and would like to know if I can get 235/45/18s on the front. Dont really want to go any smaller than a 45 profile as long as it clears the front of the arch.

 

 

Thanks, Chris..

Id say 95% of the 18" crew (ooer missus)

 

Have either 225 or 235 40/18's!

 

I wouldnt go for 45 profile as its a long way off the standard cercumference (sp) of the original wheel!

 

HTH

See HERE

thanks but it equates to about 3mph at 70mph. I can handle that...

 

Just want to know if they will go under the arches without rubbing.

 

Chris...

i have 245 40 18, realy need 265 on the rears but wheel is only 8" so am going to have to invest in some new ones, which i cant really afford at mo

You need 235/40/18 front and 255(or 265)/35/18 rear to keep the same rolling dimensions and ensure your speedo/ABS work properly.

 

Richard :cool:

I have 245-40-18 on the front and 265-35-18 on the rear. Rears are fine but front ones rubs a bit when cornering hard, I'll change them to 235-40-18 in the near future. Also I have 25mm spacers which which dont help

Was you in the black one I was looking at in Whetstone the other day.

Chris..

I have 235/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear.

And I only have spacers on the rears and I have had no problems.
