    18" Talladegas on a 118tsi?

    Has anyone fitted these on a 118tsi? or any other 18"? Been trying search and google but haven't found anyone with this combo yet.

    Hey Thanks for that. do you know if any lowering was required for them to sit properly? The 17"s I have currently look a little high in general, would slapping on 18" look stupid in that regard?

    Compared to a 205/55 R16 tyre, a 225/45 R17 tyre increases the static ride height by 4mm. A 225/40 R18 tyre would increase that again by a further 4 mm.

    Drop it with some springs and it will look sweet.
