Default Will i fit 18" Alloys on my classic

hello got a facelift classic sport, i have spotted a nice set of team dynamic pro race 1.2 in 18"

i have a quiery about if they will fit not height as such because i will fit a lower profile tyre but the width,

i am currently running 7j x 17" with 205/45/17

whats the minimum width of tyre to fit an 8j x 18" (215/35/18?)

does anyone think these will fit my classic ok?

Some people get away with 18's, others experience rubbing on the arches and on the suspension.

According to Prodrive, the BEST size wheel for your car is 17": it gives the best mix of handling and grip. Have you uprated the disc size? 18's will accfentuate the tiny discs................and rear drums

With 17's, the accepted tyre size is 215/40 17".

on classics the best tyre size to run on 18" is 215.35.18s you may get some slight rubbing still so you may need to roll the arches .


for comfort 17" are better on a classic
