To all out there with the knowledge, have just got hold of a set of 18's with rubber, they are 225/40/ZR18's but they do rub, not much, but enough to be irratating, i read a lot about profiles etc, but what's the best recomendation for size to fit classic shape scoobs please.

 

The profile you have is for an MY01> and the profile you need is a 35 series profile ie 215x35x18 or maybe 225x35x18
I have an 01 car so can't tell you for sure which of the two tyres you'd need above!! (My money would be on the 215x35x18's though)

Good luck

Nick

 

Nick is right... 215/35/18 is what i'm running

 

Yep 215/35s is meant to be better.

Im running 225/40/18s on the classic with p1 suspension and i get no rubbing with 5 people in the car.

Apparently there is a rubber strip just under the wheel arch - have you removed that? I heard something that by removing that it helps but im not 100%

 

I believe rubber strip MONEY referes to is only on UK cars, or maybe European imports too but not Jap. imorted cars as I do not have them Oh ! just to re-inforce tyre size 215/35R18 for classic to get simialr rolling radius.

 

Thank you all, looks like some more expense on the cards then. Cheers Guys!!

 

I can confirm regards the rubber strips, they do only come on UK cars and not Japs, if you do have a jap import try and get some because after a few stone chips etc they will rust. Or I'm an extreme case.
