Default Comp MO6 on 3 door – 18”x8”

I am l looking to buy a 3 door and fit 18” Comp MO6 wheels,exactly like is shown in these photos. Ihave spoken to Compomotive and they ensure me that the wheels are a perfect fitand I should not need to modify any body work.So my questions are;
  • Firstly – can anyone confirm that this is a true statement?
  • What is the best tyre size for these on a 3door? I hate the stretched tyre look andwant a tyre that fits the rim properly. 215/35 or 225/35? Same size front and rear.
  • Will the wheel/tyre assembly fit with standardtype front struts or will I need to fit coilovers or modify the spring seat ofstandard struts?
Thanks.

i would go wider rear tyres if you can mate and you should have more room too as the rear wheels dont steer like the front do

Got a giggle out of that one, giggles are good....

Thought this image of the lovely moonstone car above was a slightly better one.

That is a lovely looking 3 door and spoked wheels are the best in my opinion. They are smilar to my OZ Cronos spoked wheels.

I ran 215/35/18 with my Compomotives on my 3 Door.
20mm spacers on rear to fill arches.
Lowered and running on Spax adjustables
