I successfully ran this size wets on 9 inch Dymags at BH yesterday on a shake down/engine run in over 75 laps in drizzle, rain and hail!! Grip was excellent although I was only at 75% revs. No problems with sizing, although that said I usually run 10 inch slicks on Compos in the dry. ;-) biggrin

according to dunlop here

http://www.hptyres.co.uk/saloon.htm

a 210-650 r18 fits a rim between 8 - 9 inches wide and the optimum is 8.2" your rims will be 9" so within the range
