I was hoping to fit 225/40/18 all round. Hope they won't rub or hit the shocks at the front. With my suspension setup do you think I'd get away with that?

Edit: I can get Toyo R888R for about £190 each...may be a stupid question but are these road legal? Just heard everyone raving about them so looking for your thoughts...

Tyres like mine, Federal 595RSR and ToyoR888R are track day road legal and do offer very high levels of dry road grip.If you are running a big power engine in a 2wd Saff you do have to be more careful in the wet!
