i need 18" wheels

im buying compomotive m06's

but need an offset/rim width and tyre size

that will fit a classic uk2000 shell.

so far im thinking, 18 x 8 rims

offset?

tyres, 225/35/18.

anyone help?

cheers

 

225's will rub on a classic you need 215.

 

thanks for that,

any offset advice?

 

I think its 48-53

 

Hi

If the wheel is an 8.0x18" the 215s will not give very good rim protection and give the slightly stretched look. On this width wheel on a Classic I would go 225/35/18s as mentioned above, if the wheels are high enough offset you shouldn't get any catching.
Back in the day 215/35/18s were not very commonplace so the 225/35s were the default choice for the Classics and it is the size P1s came with from the factory with the 18" wheel option iirc!
Offset should be 48-53 if using 225/35s

Thanks

Doh the 215's i had were on a 7.5 wheel not an 8

 

Hi

Yeah, 215s will fit no problem on a 7.5x18".

Just out off interest I'm running prodrive wheels but wish to change them. Tyre size is 225/40/18. What with are these wheels? 7.5", 8"??

 

Mine are 8x18 and are spot on

 

Hi

I am pretty sure the Prodrive wheels in the pic on your link are 7.5x18".
It will be stamped on the back of the wheel if you want to be sure.

Thanks

thanks for all info above, im going to try get the wheel in an 18 x7.5 with 215's

think thats my best bet

thanks for all above

and an et 48 offset.

sound good?

 

Hi

That sounds spot on!

7.5x18" ET45 and above with 215/35/18 is perfect for a Classic.

Thanks

Keith
