tokai1 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hi all, I have just bought these wheels from rare rims, 18×9.5 front +12 18×10 rear +22 Does anyone know the best size of tyre to fit arches properly? Car has standard suspension at mo'.... i am thinking 255/40 fr 275/40 rr, will i need to roll arches? I was gonna paint centres gunmetal but i think i like the green now ....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yea those tyres should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokai1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Did a bit of test fitting today, Think rear arches will need rolled but look pretty flush.... Fronts im not so sure about.... I am putting 275/40 tyres on back and i have 245/45s to use up so might put them on front until i get 255/40s if they will fit.... I will now have 2 nankang ns2r tyres 225/45/18 for sale in Nothern Ireland almost new, very little wear... Opinions/ advice on the wheels/fit welcomed....

tokai1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 What size offset are they? Did you have to modify anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben–350Z Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Not sure about your fronts, but I have 18x10 ET+12 rears, with 275/40 tyres, and I just needed to roll those - think you'll be okay with ET+22. EDIT: Here's how it was before rolling Edited May 15, 2018 by Ben–350Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokai1 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thats great id prefer not to have to roll em' ...should recieve tyres in a day or two....time will tell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben–350Z Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yea, I didn't really want to do mine at first - but Tarmac could only get hold of one 18x10 ET35. And that would have needed spacers anyway. Got away without the roll for about 3 months before just the right combination of stuff in the boot, passenger and borderline ploughed Cambridgeshire roads caused a problem. But FWIW rolling them was pretty easy, and only about an afternoon to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
