Wheel & Tyre Size

Postby matt86 » Fri Jan 04, 2013 4:36 pm

I'm trying to get hold of a set of Fox Racing Viper Van 18x7.5 for my Mk7. The trouble I'm having is no one wants to sell me a set with 235/55/18 load 104 tyres. One company has said simply that they won't fit - I have checked and they will be smaller that the stock 215/75/65 that are currently on the van. Can anyone recommend a supplier that will sell either just the wheels, or with a decent set of tyres on them?

Alternatively does anyone know a reasonably priced place to get the speedo re calibrated in Birmingham?

Any Ford dealer, or garage or individual with access to the Ford IDS system can reset the speedo settings

You can buy tyres 245/50R18. It is only 2,38% bigger then 215/65R16. And speedo recalibration is not necessary.
It can be:
Maxxis Pro R1 245/50 R18 104 W, Nexen N 7000 245/50 R18 104 W, Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT 245/50 R18 104 Y ...
