I would need new tyres even if I changed fron 7.5" wide 18" Monza Shadows, as most of the 18" wheels I like are 8" or 8.5" in rim width. :sad:
I'll remain static on this for now. :rolleyes:
 

No, you'll be fine on 225/40/18s...even on a 8.5" wide wheel.

You can go to a 235 wide tyre of course, but unless the offset is spot on, you may find they rub the inners on full lock...also, going wider will numb the chassis slightly.
I don't find the Mk6 lacking in grip...so I am not prepared to loose any of the nimbleness by going to 235s...so 225s for me.

Yep new alloys and tyres as you know can set you back anywhere between £1500 and £2,500. Its certainly an expensive old buisness changing wheels and an addicative one...! Thats why I went down the second hand interlagos route for my winters (£600 sheets including tyres).

Those VMR V710 alloys are really finger-licking good :drool: in Hyper Silver and Gun Metal. Only £999.99 per set.

This forum will be the end of me and my bank balance. I have to somehow wean myself off this addiction. :sick:

Is there a forum shrink? On second thought, not a very bright idea. :rolleyes:
