mouthwash Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Yep, I have 265/40 on an 11" tyre and it looks fine and 235/40 on a 9.5" front. edit: Or did, as the wheels are now for sale Edited April 5, 2015 by mouthwash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftyy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Why is it to me the 40 profile looks a lot bigger than a 35 profile? Lol. Those are Ash's rears from Instagram and imo look perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftyy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Found some falkens on black circles 235/40R18W and 275/40R18W rear. 285's in a 40 profile is £450 a tyre lmao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Try tyreleader or oponeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just been price matching between the 2 and oponeo was cheaper on most but got a bargain with tyre leader, £82 for 235/40 Federal 595RSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftyy Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just been on Oponeo and they have a lot more different tyres to choose from. Kumho for £360 a set, £445 for Falken 453's. I've got the kunhos on the rear now and can't fault them but heard good stuff about the 453's. That's 245 front 285 rear which both is just 10 below the recommended minimum size of 10j and 12j rims so in theory should just be a little bit of stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Don't stagger too much front-rear because the TCS will have a fit! Widths wont affect it though, so long as you keep the rolling diameter within reason Widths will affect it, if he were do fit some of the sizes being thrown about here. 50mm+ stagger is too much unless the profile of the front tyres is larger.

Swiftyy Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm now looking at 235 front 275 rear so looking at a little more stretch now to try keep the arch gap at a minimum but rubbing minimum also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluestrike Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Tyre profiles are not measured in mm. They are a 'percentage' of the tyre width. Eg, a 265x35x18 tyre will mean the height of the tyre is 35% of 265mm. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
