Michelin PS3 Question

Post by boblez » Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:28 pm

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 picture
