Cheers, i will shine the tyres up tomorrow, also i agree 235's would look better, i just couldnt Justify buying new tyres with so much tread left on my current ones, also i didnt realise my 225's would be so stretched lol, my next set will definately be a little wider to fill the rim a bit more

Im in the same boat. New 8.5's next week but my 225's still have 80% tread, not so bad though on 8.5's.

I'll fit 235's when they wear out.

I like it. For some reason it looks better on some angles than others... weird.

What sort of camber are you running f&r?

Haha, i find that too, as for camber once it goes in for a wheel alignment i can give you the exact specs, but i can tell you the fronts are pretty much maxxed, the rears arent adjustable so its only the natural camber created from lowering the car, but yeh, i ll give you figures once i get them

hey tom !! great looking rims mate!!!!

so just to confirm are the wheels 18x9 +35 and wrapped with 225/40/18 tyres?
i think 225 is abit too stretched for a 9" rim i was gonna go 225/40 on 8.75

Cheers mate, yeh thats correct 18x9 +35 and 225 tyres,i agree it is a little too stretched however as i previously mentioned i just couldnt justify buying new tyres with so much tread left on my old ones, as soon as they are in need of replacement i will be switching to 235's, tbh even on a 8.75 " rim they're going to be pretty strectched
