Just a review of the tyres on my new shoes... I have Kumho KU23 with 225/40/18 and like dmx point out before, its noisy! not something that most ppl (includnig myself and wife) cant bear though... i need to concentrate to tell the differnt in noisyness with the stock 16". But so far its still good until I got more cash for better tyres (not that early, I hope... )
Yep. the 45 profile toyo tranpath somethings are noisier on my new shoes also. I guess it comes with having less tyre. Going to spend tonight (until the silly hours of the morning) applying my new car mod will share later... hopefully tomorrow or monday when I'm done.
just got some new tread my wheel specs are 18x8 +40 with 225/40/18 hankook ventus rs2 and rolled guards (because my previous tread was 235/40 lowered with major scrubbing issues) ... but all in all good tyres, not too loud for performance based tyres, handles like its on rails now .. and most importantly no scrubbing with full load =]

to reduce the noise : on center dash, push top right knob and turn to 12

its makes the brake disc look tiny as.. ha
upgrade to (min) 330 mm for 18" or (max) 350 mm
btw..love ur avatar ..lol
i've gone through the vehicle modifications handbook from Queensland Transport and it don't say anything specific on wheel sizes - as long as the overall (rolling) diameter is the more or less the same with some tolerances plus or minus, it's ok (i.e., 195/65 R15 to 215/45 R17, diameters are just a few mils off). i stated this with my insurer and they said that it's a different issue with them refusing to insure my vehicle even though the modification is within Queensland Transport requirements.
anyway, i'll probably stick with the 17s that i have now. but i'll do some more research on this thing with insurance.
thanks anyway guys.
back to topic - my ride's on 17 rims now. 17" x 7", +45 offset, tyres are 215/45 R 17 91W. pic below.
thats a nice ride. btw, where did u get the blacked out grille? did u just spray over it, or was there some other place? cant really find much in qld =[

btw mark since ur setup of 7.5 and +35 is pretty much the same as my 8 and +40... except mine will have 11mm LESS inner clearance.. do u think that would cause any issues? i mean its only 11mm so yea....
