Classics and wheel sizes....
Thinking about doing a deal on a set of 18" rev millennium's for my classic...
Now the usual size to go for on a classic is 7.5" wide, these however are 8"... my arches are not rolled and I don't intend to roll them either..
Anybody ran an 8" wide wheel on a classic ??? Rub issues??
I'll probably stretch a 215/40 tyre on them..

,especially without rolled arches it's more bother then it's worth,classics handle better on 17" Anyway

Matt,
My Comp MO's are 18x8 (ET50) running 225/35 tyres and red STi shocks/P1 springs and they don't rub at all...
Revs available from here;
http://www.revolutionwheels.com/wheels/road/millennium/
Email them directly for best prices :-) I'm thinking of switched to 17's on my Type R as the ride can be a little harsh.
Hope that helps?
Paul.

Just thinking, I ran an 18x8 et45 with 225/35 on my last classic with no issues at all... although that was using coilovers and had a very slight arch roll, but there was plenty of clearance ...
The revs are all et48, so am I right in saying a et45 would sit closer to the arch than a 48 ???

Thank you for that tip, after speaking to them directly they came up with a fantastic price!!!
But still not sure on 7.5 or an 8"....
