What do you RWD boys run on the back with 18"?
I have a feeling my 205-40's aren't going to handle the new engine too well, so was thinking of upgrading, maybe to 225-35?
What you running, and with or without arch work?
I cant remember if its 30 or 35 mate.... 30 was more prominent in my mind for some reason. Might be 35 profile now you mention it as I think the front is 215 35 and the rears are wider but same profile, I only know this cos I asked her what size tyre she needed for the rear of her car and she took the size from a front and when I went to fit it realised the dozy moo has wider on the rears . I may be getting confused with my M5 as that had 35 profile front and 30 rear. If she's online she, might, be able to tell you
Thanks Chaps, 225-35-18 seems a tad limited for choice, budget crap, new kumho pattern (not a fan) or Mich pilot sports, but they are Ł145 a piece to me, f*%k that.
Id like to get a 235 on back of mine, have rolled arches, but running coil overs and 6 degree beam and don't want them to catch!
I have 235/40/18 on rear of mine Jimbo for several years now. Arches need to be properly cut back not just rolled & you must run standard ride height none of this lowering & destroying the handling shite. Have also run 225/40/19 on the road these will rub up in the arches on bumps.
I cant stand 215/35, the ride is horrendous i found on mine, and they cracked wheels, profile is just a touch too low.
225/35 seems to be the winner i think.
