What width wheel you running to fit 245's on then???

More than 8" I'm guessing :?

Kelv 25-12-2007 03:54 PM

9 x 18's matey.

not the racelines in my signature, but the 9" are my black Comp MO's.

El Grand Tomismola 25-12-2007 04:20 PM

Cool fella.

So would 235's or 245's fit on 8" 0r 8.5" wide Original Oz Super T's?? :?

I've had 235 on my 8x17 Compomo Mo's.......

NEIL A 25-12-2007 07:33 PM

Im running 245/40/18 all round :)

Kelv 25-12-2007 07:35 PM

235's will be fine on the 8" wheels

Neil, yours are 9" the same as mine arnt they?

NEIL A 25-12-2007 08:13 PM

Yes kelv 9's all round but will be watching to see how much work is in fittings 10's on the back when Dave does it.

german tony 26-12-2007 03:42 PM

I've got the std 225s on my original equipment wheels & um, 195s as winter tyres on a set of scabby 15" Sierra Cossie wheels (the snowflake patterned 1s) & yes they do look very unpleasent on the car even with 30mm spacers behind them. However the cut throught the snow that's outside my house for 3 months a year quite nicely & use measurably less petrol. Or maybe I'm just being a girl & not booting it so much when it's slippy.

Martin-Hadland 26-12-2007 06:57 PM

I'm running 235/40x18 front and 265/35x18 rears but am just about to try 245/40 and 275/35 :DD:

Bullett 27-12-2007 07:53 AM

i was under the assumtion you could only run above 225 on an 18,if you had the spring cups bashed back abit or coilovers? :? i may well be well wrong here.
