Exclamation 18" X 10J(!!!) ET30 ALLOYS ON CLASSIC ???

Will 18" x 10J(!!!), offset ET30 alloys fit the under the Classic arches no problem?

If so, what is the max width/lowest profile tyre that I can get on?...

I can be wrong, but I think you can fit a 7,5 wide rim with offset around 50, without doing any mods to the arches.
18x10 et30 I think you will need a wide arch bodykit... a very wide one (?)

Cheers. I think I'm inclined to agree.

The Classics' recommended OEM offset is circa ET45-49, I think (my 17's are ET47). So these alloys wiould be pushed out by a further - and not insignificant! - 17mm (3/4") towards the arches... Quite apart from the massive 10 inches of rim width trying to be contained within!!!! It ain't gonna happen, is it?

nope... in my previous classic I tried once some 7x17 et35 rims with 205/50/17 tyres, with stock suspension, the rear tyres rubbed in the archs.

found this at nasioc

18x9.5 +12 Concave TE37's with Launsport 22b widebody



trying to find a classic with 10x15 with stock arches to show you how it would look like
