OZ Superleggera (Race Silver) 225/17"
it is lowered also....reputed to be 40mm (Eibach Pro springs and dampers)

you shouldnt have trouble with 18s either (see silver surfer).....so long as you get the right tyre profiles 45/17 or 40/18. wont put your speedo out.:)

Right going form wheel size to tyre's then and you both (silver surfer and sam20v) recommend Falkens ,, do ya get good grip as well as mileage ?? and £141 are they worth it (18in) ??? and what size 18in - 225 - ??? 7 or 8j ????

for 225/40/18 they are 77.80 on www.mytyres.co.uk
i have used them and they are recommended!
Definately Falken FK-452....come with rim protection and have a pretty nice tread....and yep.....i consider the tread pattern as well as performance:whistle:

dont worry that they are marketed as summer tyres, but i have had no probs in the winter with grip and excited driving......

id recommend falkens and by the way you can put 20" rims on no arch mods or scrubbage, i had a fully loaded car (5 blokes) and weekend bags etc and still no rubbage !

This is my V5 on 17"s imo they look too small BUT are a good compromise for everyday use as i bump up kerbs and verges alot with my job (Highways technician) and tyres are reasonable price. That said i bought the car with them on (£1800 :) ) and would change them if i could really be bothered with the expense and hassle, they are pretty kerbed now lol
