Default 18's on my MY98 estate

Just picked her up tonight after swapping the standard 16's for the 18's off my MY02. Now there rubbing! They werent on the MY02, so is there a difference in offset or should I just stick with a set of 17's??????

Any advice?

What size tyres, you should be looking at 215/35/18 on a classic.

Think you will find the offset is different, 18s will be fine on a classic with 215/35, the offset if I remember correctly should be 50

18's should fit, check the offset usually get away with a minimum of ET45, probably cos its lowered to why its rubbing.

I think MY02's have 40 section tyres i.e 225/40 x 18 which may be why they are rubbing. On a Classic they need to be 215/35 x 18 with an offset between ET48 and ET53.
