335/65-18's

Don't talk bloody daft Daft. 255/55/18 are standard fit. 335/65/18s will put his speed 6.3 MPH over the top at 30 indicated and 12.6 MPH over at 70 indicated. Just a tad illegal.

with Wammers on this.

The Mad Hat Man · Aug 27, 2013

yu are talking ****e.

Did you check if it was a legitimate size?
Do you honestly think a 335 tyre will fit on a standard rim?

ok then - how about 100/240-18's

:doh:

Yes it would, it may look like a balloon but it will fit. And yes 335/65/18 is a legitimate tyre size.

How would the ride/steering be affected?

Quite dramatically considering that you would maybe not get them inside the wheel arch to start with.

Just get some 255/55/18's if its cost and ride quality. The standard size. Got them on mine and dealt with everything in the winter.

Love the "flat bit" comment. But thanks for the info.

16" wheels give the best ride

Rachelkgr · Sep 23, 2013

I had 16s but went up to 18s really fill the wheel arches nicely. My 16s made it look like a beach buggy!
