Title: Will 235 x 18" 'tyres' fit 7.5 x 18" 'alloys'?
Post by: MAW73 on 12 October 2010, 15:50
A quick question... will 235 x 18" 'tyres' fit 7.5 x 18" 'alloys'?

Any problems with this as I understand the norm would be to fit 225 wide tyrs on 7.5 alloys???

Thanks

Have you sold your Inter Lagos wheels and tyres? Or are you just selling the wheels?

Sold them today. I'm tempted to play safe (back on the condom theme) and get some black huff ed30 wheels. Not sure??

Martin, please erase the picture of your car with the Interlagos wheels as you no longer have these.

Pride of place should go to the Monza Shadows next to your son and heir. :smiley:

They took the place of the Monza Shadows and I never forgave them for that.
The Monza Shadows are the wife, all others are dispensable mistresses.
Your new nickname is Wheel Whore. :grin:

As I am not partial to all black wheels, my comments are withheld.
These are Monza look-a-likes in black which is a slight positive.
My preference would still have been the Interlagos in anthracite over these. But that's my opinion.

wheels currently have a couple of 'wife nics' and have 2 Michelin PS3's and two of the original Dunlops. All tires very good. based in Dorset but get around so can meet. Very quick deal at £300. If you want them black, my mate has an excellent body shop, he would do them for £50 a wheel.
