alloy size for classic scooby

just got some nice 18's alloys   I'm thinking about putting them on the scooby bud dont know if they will fit right and what they'll be like driving.

they have 225/40/18 tyres on at the moment they do need 2 new tyres but dont know if they are going to work   
any advise   

I went from 17's to 18's on my classic but soon put the 17's back on as the ride was a bit harsh with the 18's, but i was also on coilovers.

I had 17" on the wagon i put 225 tyres on the back and they rubbed like hell. 215 is the size you want. Scoobyneil has 18" on his, he loves how it goes round corners and how the ride is. I think it a case of put them on and see if you like the ride of it. Prob need the arches rolling aswel.

I ran them size tyres on my classic mate only time mine rubbed was when I had a full car

For a classic on 18" wheels you should be using 215/35/18 tyres

225/40/18 is a newage size tyre.

what will the ride be like on 35's hard as f##k   

Yeah it's harsh but not too bad to be honest if you have standard style suspension, as said before that ain't as good on coilovers.

i might just fit them and try it. if i'm not happy they'll be up for sale   

I have 18s on mine with standard shocks & Tein lowering springs with 215/35/18 tyres and the ride is spot on - not harsh at all like I thought it would be.

No - just Eibach camber bolts on rear

Get some 215/40/18 tyres on and it will be spot on. 225 is too wide, 215 will fit the arches spot on

If i end up keeping these is anybody interested in some nice white 17" 5 spoke team dynamics pro race 2 couple of curb marks on one wheel and 4 good tyres
