Will it fit - 225/45 18"

Postby AlpineRaven » Wed Nov 07, 2012 7:41 am

G'day
Can I fit 226/45 18 tyres on Gen 4 wagon without problems?

What downside would I have on buying a set of misprinted tyres they're printed as 215/45 18" but they're actually are 225/45 18"

Cheers

Yep it'll fit, I'll be fitting that size to mine sometime this month.
Never heard of misprinted tyres. Just get a tape measure around them and confirm they're all the same circumference (in case a normal 215/45 gets mixed into the set), otherwise shouldn't be a problem.

Some tyres have rim protectors so they measure a bit wider :)
