As heading really. Tyres are 215/35/18 but wheels have a 45 offset.

IIRC classics should be 48?

Cheers

Car is standard ride height. Wheels I've been looking at are 18X8 compomotives - will these still fit? Don't want to get into any arch rolling business.

thanks

Thinking about it, those tyres will be stretched to hell over 8" wide wheels. Might have to give them a miss after all.

We have supplied 18x8" to customers before if they really want them.
You would really need to put a 225/35/18 tyre on to fit the wheel as 215/35/18 looks daft because its stretched across the 8" rim, The only problem with the 225's is they normally catch the arches if the wheel is any less than et50

Like u said you dont want to go down the arch rolling route.
