I've been offered some tidy CSL reps with good tyres locally but would appreciate a little assistance with whether they will fit :)

I actually don't know the rim widths but what I do know is:

Front tyre 18 x 225/40, offset ET34
Rear tyre 18 x 255/35, offset ET37

I'm currently on BMW sport springs till they break again, then I'll buy Eibachs. I'm being blinded by the price but I cannot have rubbing, Carlos Fandango looks or crazy handling.....

I'm guessing the biggest issue will be the rears? Help greatly appreciated.....
 
I would guess they are 8'' fronts and 8.5'' rears in which case you wouldn't have any issues even though they would sit about 13mm further out than standard 108s for example.
 
Thanks Dav

That sounds sensible. In the picture the rears looked very wide in comparison to the fronts (but it was a poor picture). I'll try to clarify if they are in fact 8.5's

May be he'll let me try them on....
 
OK - confirmed.

front 18x8 offset ET34. Tyre 18 x 225/40
rear 18x8.5 offset ET37. Tyre 18 x 255/35

Will that work? Is there 13mm to play with (on 108's)? Esp. with Eibachs?
 
I'm currently on Eibachs,, with 108's and 15mm spacers on the rear and have had no rubbing, so I would have thought you'd be fine.
 
Picked these up earlier:

I have to say they look a lot better in the flesh! Not exactly what I was searching for (and not very original) but a good stop gap for now.

Fitted with nearly new Avon ZZ5 tyres - anyone any experience of them?
 
Got wheels on earlier here's a few before and afters. Please excuse, dirty car, messy drive, poor pics etc. etc. etc....

Before:




After:






I think its an improvement - although still looks like it's sitting on stilts (exacerbated by just having been jacked up). Probably can't keep putting off the inevitable Eibach's....

I had a quick blast and it seemed to drive very nicely (although to be fair my old tyres were quite worn). The non-runflats are definitely nicer to sit on than higher profile RFT's.
 
I'll have to take another picture after a few miles when it's on level ground and we'll take it from there...
 
Great improvement

Despite the number of csl reps being fitted to Zeds they never look old and just look so right on the car

Ps I've run ZZ5 Avons on my Zed for 3 years and I'm extremely happy with them
