You may get some buffing at the rear. Nothing that can't be sorted. I take it they have 5x100 pcd.

Aren't 225's to big for a classic, think they rub.

Rochford Tyres reckon on 215/35/18s et 35-50 being about as big as you can go... sound about right?

[scoobywho]

They will fit with et45 and 225/35/18 Tyres as long as they are falken or yokhama

[rio180]

The tyres are toyo and the offset is 48, Johnnyr6 mentioned it could be sorted.Could someone please explain? Or am i simply banging my head against brick wall , wanting wheels and tyres that wont fit? Thanks for all your replies.

What i meant was you can get your rear arches rolled which folds the inner lip in giving more clearance. A good bodyshop can do it if its needed.

Tbh, in my opinion unless you really want the wheels go for 17's, they look just as good and i feel they suit the classic better both on looks and handling especially if you pick the right wheel.

Just my opinion though,

Aye, but mind that increases your tyre sidewall by 5% which on a 225mm tyre is about 11.25mm - that's adding 2.25cm to the diameter to your wheel... that's a lot!

Anything above 2% from the original tyre size requires a speedo recalibration! Not to mention the handling will be completely off!
