any chance you can run wider tyres on the rear of a 2wd saff when using a 6 degree beam .i dont mind rolling the arches if needs be

Wi rolled arches and 17s I bet with the right offset you could squeeze a 235
My wheels fill the arches on 18s and I'd get 225 no bother
The only issue is when they squat hard they can catch the inner arch

Et 35 is about 5 mm further in than mine so you should be fine 225. I use 35 and will be going upto a 225/35 when these pirellis are dead
