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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
