Hi All.
I've been asked by the place that I want to get my RS6 replica alloys from... do I want 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 tyres...
Presuming these are the same rims.. I had no idea you could fit a wider tyre on the same rim?
Am I correct in thinking this protects the rim a bit from kerbs? Our FreeLander Sport runs 235/50/18 and I notice the tyre seems offer some protection to the rim by bulging out either side a little?
Presuming I am barking up the correct tree - what are the benefits or downsides of me choosing 225 or 235 ?
Cheers,
