Tyres
 

225/40/18 tyres would they fit on a classic cant remember what size i was running on my last classic positive it was that size as the prices of tyres are cheaper than 215/35/18 .

Pretty sure they will rub, Scott T is the man to tell you though.

Found some sticky rubber in 225/35/18 they should be a better option .

225/40/18 rub on my rb5 on et48 7.5" (i think) at standard height since i fitted newage sti rear discs when going over bumps.

Is it the sidewall of the tyre that is rubbing simon .

215/35 on an 18 is the norm.
225/35 on an 18 your ET needs to be greater than 51

On et does smaller the number does that mean its greater

Smaller means it will stick out more and more likely to rub

Thanks that makes sense oh well 215 it is then again .

On mine it is the corner of the tyre that rubs currently, because of issues and lack of wheels and tyre combinations that fit over brembos i have decided a slightly different path.

What surprised me was everything was ok until i did brembo conversion on rear, the discs must alter the offset ever so slightly.

Time to buy tyres for the beemer wtf is it with this car :splat::lol:narrowed it down to Avon ZZ5 or Rainsport 3 to good tyre choice that has superb grip in the wet aswell as dry grip .

Just got 4x Goodyear Eagle F1 assy 3's in 225/40/18 with rim protectors from blackcircles for £303 which I didnt think was too bad. Could be another option? But I take it the rears on the Beemer to be quite wide?

Yes 8.5 on the rear but doing the fronts just for now and went with Uniroyal Rainsport3 £150 for the front balanced and fitted so beemer gets new boots fitted on monday :beer:

Looking for a set of 255/35/19 & 285/30/19 soon, i was looking at bridgestones or pirelli.
