215/35/18 confusion

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, ive read that 18's are a no go on corrados but i'm a little confused as the figures do add up.

 

18" et35, 5x 100

 

standard corrado tyre : 205/50/15, rolling radius 293mm, circumference, 1841mm

 

215/35/18 : rolling radius 303mm, circumference, 1909mm

 

now i know that alot of guys run the 17 " 205/40/17 :

 

rolling radius 298mm, circumference, 1872mm

 

does that 30mm odd on a circumference make that much of a difference?

18" on a rado are possible no problem. Quality of ride and handling due to weight of the wheel is a different story. I was in a rado with fitted 18" ultra light team dynamics and 225/40/18 and honestly for me ride was fine, no as good as on 16" speedlines and 205/40/16 or 195/40/16 can't remember.

 

All depends from the wheel. I have 17 rh zw1 for corrado and they seems heavier then my 19" carlsone 1/16 from my daily.

Anything over 16" completley f*cks the ride quality up... it just wasn't designed for that size wheel

Absolutely correct .

215/35 front and 225/35 rear but because of rears being 9,5" and you need min 15mm spacers to go from 5x100 to 5x130 serious arch work is needed but it is possible

 

I have been running 17x9 with ET 0 in the past, so it is possible
