steve spedd Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Im looking to buy some new alloys for the car. They are SIZE: 18 x 8.5 front 18 x 9.5 rear OFFSET: 42 PCD: 114.3 im pretty sure these will fit. What i need help with is what rubber size and make are recommended to go on these rims??? Also do i need to make sure the overall Circumference is the same or very close all round?? Please could anyone help?? Thanks Steve Oh and Happy Christmas To everyone!!

Ian W Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 i think you'll want 235/40 - 18 on the front and 265/35 - 18 on the rear mate. this should keep the rolling radius as close to stock as possible. (i could however, be wrong as i'm sure we'll find out in a sec or two!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve spedd Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 That's great thanks!! i spoke to a guy earlier and he thought 255 at the back was wide enough?? but i thought the same size as you mentioned would work ok. any ideas on what make/type to buy? cheers!

garethr Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 There are tyre size calculators on the 'net http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi find the closest to the standard sizes (then check if those sizes actually exist ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShox Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 theres not much to call between all the online retailers. the real bargains are available for the patient ppl who check out ebay. i got 2 premium dunlops brand new for only £102! they retail £150 each normally but because they got fed up looking at em they put em on ebay no reserve and i happened to be the only one after that size at the time!
