Hi
Just bought some 18" spiders for my soon to arrive Tamora that has 16" boots on.
My question is what size tyres do I need front and back?

Cheers

Std sizes are 235/40/18 on the rear and 225/35/18 on the front. Load index will vary from tyre to tyre but my Goodyears are 92Y on the rear and 87Y on the front. Camskill have always been good to me with prices but they are supply only for most so you will need to get them fitted.

255/35/18 will fit.. You might get slight rubbing over very bumpy roads at speed but not an issue.
I also put 225/40/18 on front of T350 as 225/35/18 is like an elastic band.
Handles a lot better IMHO.

I have 255/35/18 on the rear and I will go back to 235/40/18 when these run out. If you rarely drive with a passenger then they will not rub often. But with a passenger every bump at speed and quite some corners at track days will cause rubbing. It is too much too often for me.

I just raised the ride height a bit. Most T350s, Sags etc look a little bit too low imho and its a much more practical extra 10mm esp for Sag
