Thinking of buying some dirt cheap 18"

[Spatt]

wheels are 5 x 114.3 PCD

 

offsets are et35

 

ive been told me standard 235 and 245 tyres will fit them

 

am i doing something wrong buying these?

If you want dirt cheap wheels, go look in my for sale thread

[AliveBoy]

are they ugly? are they likely to shatter into a bazillion pieces at the first bump in the road? Are they so concave they won't clear the brembo brakes?

 

If you can say no to all of these, crack on

[StevoD]

Standard 235 tyres?? you whaa

[Spatt]

running a 235 front? on the standard 'touring' wheels becuase thats what came off?

 

The wheels will have to be fitted to check the rotate and they aren't battered up so i guess they wont break up (Hopefully)

 

they have a dish and they look like Work wheels so im game if they fit

 

 

PCD and ET sound ok??

225/45/18 is the standard OEM sized front tyres

[Spatt]

Whaa

[Spatt]

S*** then i need to do some more homework next time and not just assume the guy before me did the right thing.

 

Car handles great on this size tyre tho im running 235/40/18 and 245 rear

Sound fine to me, maybe a touch weak in the ET department, some spacers might be required to get them looking spot on.

[Spatt]

i have spacers right now front and rear so im hoping that wont be an issue.. the guy said i could try them on for size and see how they sit.. i just had a look on drift works because a friend recommended it

[StevoD]

hard to say with out seeing but my ultralites with et35 needed a 20mm spacer to fit

They'll probably run without any issues, but when it comes to putting new tyres on, just get the right ones

[brillomaster]

what widths are they? staggered or square setup? cos someone saying that 235 and 245 will fit on them doesn't really say a lot, that could be anywhere from 7.5" to maybe a 9.5" at a stretch. knowing the offset is fairly meaningless without knowing the width.

[Spatt]

you lost me... sorry

[Spatt]

heres the add

[Spatt]

18x8j ET35 front, 225/40/18 budget tyres with a little tread left

18x9j ET35 rear, 225/40/18 budget tyres... definitely need changing for road use, fine if you're skidding

[KyleR]

Your tyres will be fine Just consider swapping the size of the fronts when the time comes

[Spatt]

what does 8j and 9j mean? is that the width?.. i know you can put a slightly narrower tyre on a wider rim for the 'stretch' look but tbh im not that bothered about that i prefer performance

[StevoD]

for £140 quid cant complain

[AliveBoy]

do it, if they don't fit you'll get more than that on ebay
