I'm running 225/35R18 as they are only a few mm difference in diameter to the stock 16's.

40 will give you a more comfy ride.....if your car is lowered, i believe you may need to go for the 35...

Aren't 35s too short height wise, in terms of space between rim and top surface of tyre?
Years ago, when i went to replace my tyres which came with the car (had 225/35 18s), i was told there could be insurance issues because they were too thin and that insurance may not cover me in a crash. "Oh your tyres were too thin; the reason you bounced and crashed when you went over that pothole was because of a lack of dampening, caused by a very low tyre profile. And now you get no moniez" or something like that. Similar to why suspension can't be too stiff. Just going by what I was told. I changed to 16s when i realised that being safe (insurance-wise) and going up to 40's would mean bulk scrapage on a GC8. Could be wrong don't hurt me

im running 225/40/18 and im telling you now worst mistake ever, i've got my guards rolled and when you take a corner at a reasonable speed the guard will still touch the tyre . dont even think about having people in the back even worse. o forgot to mention my car aint even lowered yet.
doubt 35 profile will be even better, you might aswell go for 17's. |
