Even 9j rear is fine, use 265 tyre. 32 and 25 is fine also, i believe anywhere between 32 and 38 rear is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Would these clear UK brakes? Only way to tell is to see the wheel mate, and preferably try them on (unless someone has them already of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoliathJay Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Im running a 265 on the rear with an 8" rim :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Im running a 265 on the rear with an 8" rim :S Dude that's just crazy...surely the tyre is waaaay to wide for the rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think it might be, I'm running 265/35 on a 9.5" on my MR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guyver Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just had a check and a 265 wide tyre will fit a 9" to 10.5" wide wheel so I would say 8" is way too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Is a 18 x 9.5 Rear too big for the rear or is that for people with wider arches? Lew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guyver Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I would say no as I'm running 18x10 rears with stock body and suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
