Default Which tyres on my new wheels???
Gents,

I am swapping my Rondells for Comp MO's. As I am getting new wheels, I thought I would get new tyres at the same time. What are the widest tyres I can fit on 8x18 wheels without fouling the arches or suspension (Koni shocks with GGR lowering springs)??

Thanks for the help

IMO you are best off with 225/40/18 on them.
I know people run 235/40/18 - they look like tractor tyres
235/35/18 are a nice aswell pm me for prices.
