Is 215/35/18 safe on these vans?

[aulday]

Are these going to stick out too far what with the ET being 11?

8 1/2 inch wheels will fit on the front it just needs a bit of fettling as i have them on my van,

next question.

Can you fit "225 80 R15" tyres on the rear wheels of a T25? The fronts are staying at "205 70 R15" but I was going to put big ones on the back.

8 1/2 % bigger so you can bet your life you'll be stirring the box at any slight gradient

[aulday]

maybe, but the bigger problem for me is running out of revs on long straghts. may improve mpg. but will they fit celarance wise? and anyone seen this front/rear tyre difference on t25's before?

[kevtherev]

There's no maybe about it mate

yes they will fit

[aulday]

Got some tyres fitted to my alloys today. 225/80/15 on rear. fronts are 205/70/15

Guy told me I'll need alloy wheel studs, that can't use steel ones.

I'm aware I'm going to need longer studs and bolts, but do I now have to ensure they aren't made from steel??? or was he just talking about the shape? In which case I need to see if my wheels require ball or tapered nuts which I can check myself.

eh

[aulday]

And do you think these will be a good idea

saves buying 2 sets or a stud conversion.
