Default Do 18's fit

Hi, Could someone advise me if 18's fitted with 215 35 18 tyres will fit straight onto a classic? Does it affect the handling/acceleration at all? WillI have to have the steering re-aligned?

I'm running stock 16's at the mo and presume the roling radius will stay roughly the same with the lower profile?

Answers much appreciated

Yep, 215/35/18 is the recommended size in classics.

The ride will be harder and you maybe more prone to tramlining due to the lower profile in tyres.

17's for go, 18's for show as they say
