Reckon they'll fit? Front and rear?

Is this the size of the Tuscan rears that can;t be used on the cerb?

Anyone?

pretty please. I know the RL7's are 8's and a quick clac shows the tyre size on 35 profile 18's is identicle. Just worried about the top of the shock mount clearance.

Why because the wheels are wider? Shouldn't make that much difference, side wall may be a little less compliant but not much. Hardly any different to putting spiders on.

Not sure if I'm right but its not the rim size that the problem but the offset of the rear Tuscan Spider rims, hence why they recommend using front rims all round, which are sightly different. However 255 tyres still can rub even if on Tuscan Spider front rims so 245 tyres are better to avoid rubbing when suspension compressed.
