Tyre sizes LM's.

[DubAndDubber]

Right, so i got the wheels fitted onto my car. Heres a little pic


As you can see it need to be lowered! Also the tyre sizes are very low profile, 215/35/18 on 8.5j wide.
I'd like to run stretch only on the rears. The et is 35 but it looks like if i dont run stretch on the front they'll be alot of poke and scrubbing!

What tyre sizes do everyone reccommend? I dont want to go to low as i've had bad experiences before so will a higher profile tyre also help me out?

Cheers

how low you going then you can determin tyre size

225/40/18's ftw they will keep the gearing / speedo spot on.

Actually 215/40/18s will read better than 225/40/18's

How can there be a lot of poke on an 8.5j rim with a 35et? Unless you have 15mm spacers it doesn't make sense.

I'll take a picture from side view later.

So would the rears be ok on 215/35/18 and the fronts 225/40/18? And would that look alright?

I wanna go quite low but not scrapin the floor low!

I would not run wider tyres on the front.

45 is big im on 40 profile and they rub like a beesh

[DubAndDubber]

Yeah but with the stretch it wont be as bulky. Theres a guy on UKMK4's and thats what hes running, hes not gone to low because the profiles big, looks spot on, ill get the pic!
