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

Re: Tyre size
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.

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

Re: Tyre size
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.

Re: Tyre size
Perfect, they're a lot cheaper that 195 too.
Thanks for the advice!
