the 35% wall hight of 225mm OR 215mm will increase the overall radius of the wheel and tyre, making the spedo read incorrectly

NATH - Ive got et35 205/40/17's on mine and they're fine, no rubbing, full lock and handling is fine.

Surely 225 tyres will have no more affect over the speedo than 215 tyres as its the width......

i have never spoken to anyone in ripspeed who seem to know what they were on about- my local performance car store is far better- just found out the guy who owns it carries out 2l conversions in his shed- result

Me
Hi mate i'm after some of these.

Ripp lad
What car have you got mate??

Me
Mk4 Astra

Ripp lad
Arrr right well you will need as close to et49 as possible and these come in et40 so you should be ok..Is your car lowered??

Me
Yeah 40mm

Ripp lad
Yeah you'll be fine.

Me(the part i was not sure on! :lol:
What tyres are best 215/35/18 or 225/35/18??

Ripp lad
225 are the best bet mate as the 215 will throw yopur speedo out and feel a bit wierd!

Me
