Wheel fitment

[Karl_mac_]

I had 225/40's on mine as George said, rears not much of a problem but the fronts were just a ball ache. Even when I had my arches rolled and flared. More stretch/less tyre wall needed to get it sat good.

Looking at your sig has made me more determined to get some 

So, i've had a look on tyrestretch and even 215 on 8.5 looks pretty gnarly, is that still pretty safe or will I into problems.

I thought the standard 18s were 8.5 by the way, i take it this is not the case?

Why don't you just run 205/40s for the fronts like I suggested and avoid the problem all together

I think thats probably what i'll end up doing. Just a little concerned about the about of stretch, some pics it looks fine but on others it looks pretty extreme. I'm worried mainly because roads around sheffield are appalling and I don't want to hit a pothole and mash a wheel/tyre.

So, to summarise. 9.5 on the rear is fine, but may require some compromises on tyre sizes?

@jaffa you've got camber, I was on about a standard fit they'd sit too wide.  I mentioned Cambering the rears.

So if you have more than one passenger it rubs?

 215's on the front all day long. 205 would be fine but you said you didn't want too much stretch.

Iv never had 2 people in the back with these wheels on lol

Iv got another 4 sets of wheels with different specs so they are never on long enough

To be honest if you're "worried about (a bit) of stretch" then find a different set of wheels because they won't fit without putting the particular tyre sizes on that are mentioned.

Fair enough.

Running 9.5 on the rear looks good but you need the lows to go with it.

 He's better off going 8.5 all round.

Yeah defo need lows for wide wheels
