Default 8x18, how large a tyre can I go ?

Hi,

I've got a MY02 STi and running with 8x18 Turini's.

On the back I have F1 225/40's, and recently changed the fronts to Proxy T1-S 225/40.

I'm not happy with the Toyo's so am going to put F1's back on.

Question is this.

Can I put a bigger width tyre on the rears (235? or 245?) and then put the 225 F1's onto the front.

Or should I wait and change all 4 to the bigger width (if at all possible).

also, where is the best place for 2 new tyres to go, front or back ?

Many thanks.

Mark.

Think you should run the same size all round otherwise you your diff's may not like it too much.

As Richie has said keep the same size tyres all round

Best for your car is the 225/40/18 !!
