18" Alloys

Post by garythebass » Sun May 09, 2010 12:20 pm

Hi All, I've been offered some 18" alloys to fit the bongo, wondered what tyres other members with this size were using, 225/40's 0r 45's
seem to be the route to go (with correct load rating of course)
Any advise greatly appreciated

Cheers

225/40x18 is the nearest to the standard size, but you may have difficulty finding the correct load index with either size. As all 4 will be the same, you need a load index of at least 96 per tyre.
