Tyre size

Post by Steve890 »

Just picked up my caddy and found a set of vw monza reps cheap so gonna pick them up tomorrow.

They need tyres. Can anyone help with size? They're 18", 7.5j, et45.

Any help appreciated

225/40/18 if you like a little stretch.
235/40/18 if you want a bit less stretch.

These are ideal. You can go 45 but you might get a little rub on the inner wheel arch.

225 won't be stretched on a 7.5J wide rim, I've seen 195 on a 7.5J.

So is 195 stretched or is that the "right" size?

I run 225/40R18 on my 7.5J 18" wheels.
That's the normal size tyre for that size wheel on a mk5 golf.

Perfect, they're a lot cheaper that 195 too.

Thanks for the advice!
