Will 235 x 18" 'tyres' fit 7.5 x 18" 'alloys'?
« 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:
