Just checked mine and they are 215/45/18, but i was advised to go for 225/40/18. They seem fine though so far.

It handles just the same as before really, but i think you'd need to be tracking or racing it to know any difference properly, i just use it as a road car.

That car definately needs lowered Scrappydoo7619!!
It will look excellent once it has coilovers on! Give me a shout for some if you are not already sorted.

Cheers for all of the kind words lads and lasses!!!

Thanks

Is your car on coilovers or just lowering springs?

Yeah its on bc coilovers, we have an arch roller so just rolled the rears a bit to see how it went, didn't need to do fronts at all. The roads around the peak district though aren't the best and a have to have the rear suspension set really hard which kind of ruins te ride a bit, so i'm either going to rise the rear half inch and soften it ir sell the wheels and go back to my old ones.
