Michelin PS3 Question
Question please for all you experts! I have the opportunity to get hold of a new set of Michelin PS3 225.40.18 but im not sure they will fit? My rims are 108s and 18inch, do i need to do anything or will they be good for front and rear???

Fronts should be 225/40/18 and rears should be 255/35/18 if i'm not mistaken. The 108s are wider at the back.

You can fit the 225's to the 18 x 8.5 rears, but they will offer no rim protection and will taper in as per the picturega41 wrote:Fronts should be 225/40/18 and rears should be 255/35/18 if i'm not mistaken. The 108s are wider at the back.
However, just because it can be done not necessarily sure that it should be
