Speedline Turini 18x8

What tyre size would you recommend on these wheels, I was thinking I might get away with 235/40/18 without any problems, my car is 03 STi.

Cheers

Steve

Thats the best size on an 8" rim 235/40/18

Frayz runs that size on his speedlines without issue and you get rim protection which you wont get as much of with the 225.

I thought it might be ok, just concerned about them rubbing with the extra width

Frayz is MY02. If you want to run 225, make sure you get a tyre that sits chunky on the side wall. Vredestein Sessantas are good for this as are the Gyears.
