215 is perfect for those rims as there only a 7.5 or 8 wide

215/40R18 or even 225/40R18

235 will be too big on them and bulge out over the rim alot

215 would give best look, 225 would bulge a little bit but not really noticable

yeah but a 225 is uncommon and will run you a bit , possibly same with a 215?

nope very good price wise, there are a few good brands out now that are cheap but really good quality wise, plus 225 are starting to become more popular due to euro cars, and lots of ricers run 215 to clear guards

yes 235 is a very common size, but you can still pay big dollars for any tyre, it depends what you want it for...

id photoshop them but the pictures are taken at the wrong angle. The third pic is close, but compare the angle of the rims in your first pic, compared to the other pics, wont sit right!

Also Marshall Powdercoaters do good work.

oh they are only narrow pizza cutters. *faceplam*. this is why 33's get such a bad rep.

first of all i would never go a 215/35 on ANYTHING. the speedo will be thrown out by 5km/h at 60km/h. thats reducing the overall rolling diameter by too much. a 215/45 is much better and retains a pretty much stock rolling diameter. i would only go a 235/40 if the rims were at least 8.5" wide. anything narrower and u will be riding ballon spec.

btw thats a hell dodgy spray job, couldnt the guy at least tape off the tyres.

honestly i wouldnt spend money on powder coating these. put that money towards better rims.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
