Righto gents. Just stumbled across a deal Ozzy Tyres are doing. Buy 4 Kuhmo tyres and get 2 free. Now the question is will a 225/40/18 fit on the standard gt-b wheel?
The tyres are KUMHO 225/40R18 92Y KU31
Works out to be $526 For 4
Some advice would be great. Currently have a Falken Ziex 912. 215/45/18

your standard rim size is 18x7.0
according to this list, 225 wide tyres will fit on them

225 will fit but will be muffin top
You can spend a tad more and get Falken FK453 in 215/45, arguably a better tyre (I went from KU31 to FK452 and the Falken were better).

Haven't had any issues with the ZIEX (45000 and still got 3-4mm) good wet and dry.
I do not track the car but very occasional do a spirited run. Thanks for the advice
Thanks mate...handy to know

Depends what you're comparing the Zeix to. Compared to KU31, they are rubbish. Compared to cheapo China tyres, they are good.
