Anyone run 235 wide tyres on a classic
Other than rolling the arches - anything else I need to consider? Will be fitting to 17x7.5 rims with ET48

Ride height?
Will the inside edge of the tyre rub on suspension spring?
Id like to run wider tyres on mine (for hillclimbing) you reckon a 235 will go?
I thought a 225 would be pushing it.

My P1 wore 225s with no fuss and my RA has too.I have measured about 9.5" from the wheel arch to the spring and 235s are 9" wide - so it will be tight - fingers crossed
