well i have browsed the section, just wanted peoples opinions on tyre choice for 18"s. there seems to be some difference in opinion from suppliers between 215 35 18 and 225 35 18. is it going to be any difference when its on the car other than the 225s are cheaper for some reason? cheers for any advice, flint.

Standart 17' is 6.5 inch, offset 46 (ET) on sport version as i remeber, some one will correct me if i'm wromg

Basicly depends on the wheels ( width, offset )
Don't know what u have or going to

Some manufactures wheel configurators:

(check recommended tires)

After all 225/35 is possible to fit on 7ich it is not recommended (bending tires edges alot) :spin:

If it's any help, this is a good site to calculate the rolling radius etc. to make sure you are keeping the same size as the original
