Stobsie 3,915 Report post Posted May 3, 2020 You’ll have no issues and correct tyre size is 225/40/18. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davegolfr 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2020 What’s the difference then as standard wheels are ET51 and 7.5 I think what is changing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Immaculate. 18 x 8,5 with offset ET 45 They are fitted with 235/40/18 tyres. Fill the arches nice, so dont appear “smaller” after Pretorias. 😀 The width of the wheel is the 7.5 and 8.0. The ET is how much the wheels poke out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobbyT 1,093 Report post Posted March 5 That size should be fine. I had 225/40/18 not long back on an 8j rim. Looked normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davegolfr 1 Report post Posted March 31 What about the ET45 will it scrub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Near as dammit the same Rolling Radius as Factory Pretoria’s. But Fill better. Standard Spring settings tho - NOT lowered. NO issues whatsoever when using these.
