    That's correct - for a 40 series, 18-inch tyre.

    That said, I don't believe it's physically impossible to fit a 235/40 R18 tyre onto a 7.5J rim, if you get my drift.

    The GS-D3s were actually the factory delivered tyre for the MkIV R32s as well. Not bad to get pretty much the best "normal" road tyre possible on a stock car let alone one under $100k!

    damn, i guess that was specified by the lab coats? I have 235's now, and they seem to be more than fine.

    they are solid as a rock, with virtually no body roll at all.

    Even with 3 year old, average brand tyres, the car is so much quicker round corners and bends now.

    The down side? Well, its a bit harsh over bumps, but not that much worse than my rolly-poly OEM springs.

    so, I love em!!

    Why did i choose koni? because they were for sale (used) at a sensational price, so didnt consider other brands much
    nice, nice. sounds good. how you finding them thru the bad roads, if you have any?
