Yes, they do fill the arches better than stock.

I'm running 225/40/18 as I've read Michelin tests this size on 8J rims as well.

I am going for the HLTs like yours but with 235/40/18s Conti SC7s which match my 19" pretorias and tyres perfectly. Will post a photo when fitted.

Please do as I will use this to decide what size I'll run the winter tyres.

Wheelbase Alloys are offering a £480 discount on a set of 4 silver HLTs.

No idea if this is a limited or permanent offer but if anyone knows please post a reply.

I can’t find them on sale at under £2,000 anywhere else.

Crazy price considering I paid €1600 2 years ago.

I am using the Wheelbase offer (£1619)  to see if my local guy can match.

Did you have to use spigot rings with yours?

Yep

I even needed to use a bit of aluminium foil around the wheel hub because one of them was slightly smaller.

It wasn't the spigot ring now, it was my wheel hub that for some reason was worn down.
