Haha, can't pretend I've ever owned a Saph mate... so my input is pretty useless.

Did Stuart Cosworth not wang on some 235s when he got pissed off with traction problems??

I had 225/35's on the back of my saph 4x4 wheels were et32 old style mo's. 225's rubbed slightly on the front as my arches were only slightly rolled, so ran with 215's on the front.

Cool cheers m8.
That means your side wall will be 5% bigger mate..thats why when you go wider you normally drop your wall size ie 225.40 or 235.35...
On a saph with coilovers and the rear shit shields removed the front arches rolled et 32-35 id go 225.40 front and 245.35 rear...if your 4x4 you will have to be carefull as you will need the correct rolling radius back and front so will need to measure but if using the same make of tyres wont be far of with the above examples..
