Ok
I love this board, and sorry but for this one I only want people who TRUELY know if this will work? Thanks

Will 225/35/18's rub? and if so how badly?
I know that 215/40/18's dont.....just wondering if that extra 10mm will kill me.

ANd next question will they rub if it is lowerd?


THANKS ALOT!
Ben

    225 anything WILL rub on an 850 at full lock on the inside of the wheel arch (unless you have a R model with the limited turning circle), and may also catch at the outside edge of the tyre on the wheel arch if you have markedly lowered suspension.

    no substitution for trying them though

    Probably, really depends on your offset though.

      Hey thanks guys

      The rim has a 42 offset

      so im looking at 225/35/18
      and 225/40/18........i Assume the 40's are more comfortable but are also bigger...any sugestions.....and if i keep it off full lock could I manage?

        u may avoid the wheel arc, but u never know until u try out to see if it will catch the top of the fender whenever u hit a bump.
