Chris Bailey Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) 235/40/18 265/35/18 Depends on offsets really. Edited January 15, 2014 by Chris Bailey (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Going from an earlier thread where a memeber was saying he thought it handled better on stock width tyres i would be inclided to say something along the lines of 235 Front & 255/265 rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 235/40/18 265/40/18 Depends on offsets really. I think you meant 265/35/18... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac79 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 They have an offset ET35 on both so they should clear my brakes. I want to make sure they are not going to rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you're looking for another set of the 452's you may have some trouble as I believe they've been superseded by the 453's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have 235 40 on the fronts and 265 35 on the rears. These are on Wolfrace Sharks with the same offset as you state. Car is slightly lowered and they fit with no rubbing. Will post up some photos as they sit on tapatalk in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ET35 will be fine for the brakes. I have 19" with ET35 on the rears and I run Stoptech big brakes (355mm) on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have the same size wheels on a +35 offset with 235 40 18 front and 255 35 18 rear. However, I have 25mm spacers on the rear, so the offset is very aggressive. Really, anything from 255 to 275 (35 18) would be fine on the rear.

Alex Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Indeed I did - all corrected lol the front is a 40/18 the rear is a 35/18 because it's a %age of width. 35% of 265 is the same (ish) as 40% of 235. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac79 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Does anyone know what make these are cause the might be worth a refurb but they would need a centre cap for one of them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321260742761?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_6265wt_1019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
