Mine is running on 17's with 215/40 17" Toyo's, but I might treat myself to some 18's for summer

If I do..........what size tyres would I need to keep my rolling diameter something like, and to avoid rubbing?

TIA

 

i've got 215/45/ZR 18 on my dares only time i rub is when i'm 5 up!!

 

Errrrrrrrrrrrr, rolling diameter, dude? If I'm ALREADY on 215/40 17's, then 215/45 18's are going to be WAY out

 

215/35/18 is the most popular as far as i know mate

 

Cheers, bud, will put that into my tyre size calculator, then into the internet for some prices.

Might go Toyo R888 for the summer............

 

225/35/18 will fit without issue if you have the correct ET53 on the alloys.

Excellent, was about to post asking that

 

No R888's only Hankook at Camskill

P.S. Offset isn't everything, are you trying a say that a 9" rim with a 53mm ET will fit ?

 

Another one for 215/35/18, also worth remembering that different tyre's have different shoulders.

 

It isn't everything but it's a big thing on a classic as even 215 will rub with the wrong ET. I don't remember trying to saying anything about 9" but if you want to try I'm sure they'll rub evenly inside and out if you use an ET53.

So just to clarify 7.5" x 18 P1-WRC alloys with ET53 will fit 225/35/18 Falken 452 tyres on a classic without issue.

 

I've got the 18" P1-WRC wheels on my P1 with 225/35/18 Bridgestone SO3's that fit fine.

No issues at all.

correct offset as set by Prodrive of ET53.

 

Excuse my ignorance.... but what's an "ET53?"

 

It's the offset of the wheel. 53mm from the centre line of the wheel to the mounting face.

 

I've got 225/40/18's on Prodrive alloys, the rear strut spring caps needed fettling a little bit to get clearance.

 

215/35/18 Falken 452's on mine, rubbing

 

what alloys are you using and whats your et on them

 

Just had my Falken FK452 225/35/18's fitted to my P1 on the P-WRC wheels and they are fine.

 

Rota Tarmac 2's - not sure of the ET but they go over newage Brembo's, ET 48 maybe

 

215/35/18 falken 452 no rubbing I used to have 225/40/18 toyos on and they rubbes on the rear the fronts were fine
