What width tyres? That will make the 35 relevant.

I don't think many 5G on here run 18s... does @macky_6 still?

You need to measure from the center of the wheel to the arch, wheel size won't make any difference then

Ok just assumed ud measured the gap seeing as tho you were talking tyre sizes. Tbh the cars goin to look high with 18s tho, it's quite easy to drop 20mm and never even notice it.

Sorry, been away this week :roll:

I no longer run the 18's. They looked terrible, weighed a ton and the ride on 215/35 profile tyres was awful :?
