225,40ZR18. What ET are the wheels ? You'll have trouble if they're above ET18 with the Koni's on the front.

225/35-18 is what I run on my Compo MO 18" old style.
I do run 225/40-18 on my magnesiums and they fowl the inner arch sometimes.
I'm on Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs.

I also used to run 235/35-18.

Tried 225/35/18 at first when I got some 18" wheels as they are closer to the original RR, trouble is they don't fit well at all.The wheels were 8.5" wide not 8" so It stretches the side walls inwards too much for my liking.

Had Toyos & F1's both good tyres.
