18" 5x112 et45 8 front 9 rears any problems and what tyres?

Post by afcjay »

Looking to buy some alloys for the van 18" 5x112 et45 8 fronts 9 rears.

Am i right in saying these should be well within the arches and not cause problems when lowerd?

Also i was looking at 235/40/18 tyres on the 8s but what tyres for the 9s?

Cheers
