Due a new set of tyres on my anni wheels any
Recommendations?

Why not look at the size already on them and take it from there? What width are they? 7.5j? You'll struggle to get decent stretch to be honest, the wheels aren't wide enough.

What Dom said. Too small really for a good stretch. Just get some 225's or whatever width they are.

I have 5 genuine alloys so would be 7.5
Is there 8" and are they reps?
Also would 8" still be too small for a slight strech?

215/35 look a touch cheeky on a 7.5.

They came with 225/40 but they do look a bit of a chunk.
