Gday Gav...

I have been running various 225/40/18's on 18x8's for about 3 years now. I only had scrub issues on the front under hard cornering when the car was illegally low. Now that I have the lowest point of the car at 102mm (under ALK), there hasnt been an issue. Ride is arguably a bit more forgiving in a 40, versus 35, however im sure its negligible.

225's are actually slightly more expensive than 235's, but again, difference is minimal.

I think I will go the 225/35's, what is the minimum load rating required to be legal?

Also been made aware that tyres in Aust must be DOT rated or the like!!

cheers

Its on the placard in the drivers door jam.
I think its 89U or 91U
All tyres these days a V speed rated so that parts fine.

Tempe tyres quoted me $160.00 each delivered for KUMHO KU31 225/45/17 if its any help. Best price I have found so far locally is $205.00 f & b.

get the smallest wheels you can fit over your brakes, 18's are for posers

What if 18's are the only wheels that fit my brakes?
