Hennerz Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Hi guys, Sorry if this has been brought up before. I have the standard 18" rays I am looking at replacing my front tyres but noticed that the ones at the moment are 235/45/18 and after searching noticed a lot of people run 225/45/18 and I am unsure which one to go for. Could anyone advise Thanks H Quote
glrnet Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Standard sizes are:- STANDARD UK RAYS Front 225/45/18 Rear 245/45/18 I'd stay with that or you may encounter traction control issues Quote
Dblock Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I've used 235/40/18 with 245/45/18. I'm not on 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 now though. Quote
Hennerz Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Cheers guys, will stick with the 225/45/18 as blackboots have plenty in stock Will also be getting my alignment done as my fronts have slightly more wear on the inside. Am I right in saying that the front are not camber adjustable and if not what would be the best way to correct them? Quote
Dblock Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I could be wrong but I think they are adjustable but very slighlty. If your lowered after market control arms are your best bet. Quote
Hennerz Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks Dblock, im not lowered, would love to be but sadly dont have as much expendable cash as i would like lol. Quote
jonst205 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Excessive toe-in will also wear the insides more quickly, which is a relatively easy thing to fix - the 10mm extra width would have exacerbated this. There is no camber adjustment on the front, they should be fine from the factory when not lowered. If the camber is checked and is out of whack, it means there is something worn or bent. Quote
Neilp Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 fronts have no adjustment at all im sure Quote
Hennerz Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks for all the info guys Will be take the zed to Blackboots to get the front changed and try and solve the alignment problem Quote
