Question 18's on a classic ??????

I have a classic model with coilovers, if I get 18's do I have a choice of tyre size ?

I know I can get 215/35/18 can I get any other size ?
And will they fit in the arches ?

Talking All answered by someone off scoobynet

Apparently been told to go for 215/35/18 as anything larger may rub.

Yes I remember that.... superleggras ? if I remember right ?


I understand the offset you need to go for on a classic is 48, and agree with above 215/35/18

You've seen mine Kev 18's with a 45 offset & if I didn't have the coilovers they'd rub. With the coilovers no probs . I'm running 125/35-18's

Unhappy I want my car back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dyney, I was supposed to have the wheels delivered today, but the company SW TYRES, couldn't find my address yesterday, (so they couldn't phone me right ) so I won't get them delivered until Friday, I've got 18inch 10 spoke, highshine wheels, plus some upgraded tyres for £800 delivered, which I think is quite good.
Hopefully get them delivered straight to Mikes place.
Also bought some alloy rear drop links and uprated anti roll bar (to make me feel better.................early christmas present )

Hello Maffa
I couldn't remember what size tyres you had mate.Have you found out why you were down on your power figures yet ?????

Just noticed what size tyres I wrote PMSL

Mmmm somehow I don't think they'd fit on my rims properly

215/35-18's sounds a bit better tbh
