215 is perfect for those rims as there only a 7.5 or 8 wide

215/40R18 or even 225/40R18

235 will be too big on them and bulge out over the rim alot

215 would give best look, 225 would bulge a little bit but not really noticable

yeah but a 225 is uncommon and will run you a bit , possibly same with a 215?

nope very good price wise, there are a few good brands out now that are cheap but really good quality wise, plus 225 are starting to become more popular due to euro cars, and lots of ricers run 215 to clear guards

yes 235 is a very common size, but you can still pay big dollars for any tyre, it depends what you want it for...

id photoshop them but the pictures are taken at the wrong angle. The third pic is close, but compare the angle of the rims in your first pic, compared to the other pics, wont sit right!

Also Marshall Powdercoaters do good work.

oh they are only narrow pizza cutters. *faceplam*. this is why 33's get such a bad rep.

first of all i would never go a 215/35 on ANYTHING. the speedo will be thrown out by 5km/h at 60km/h. thats reducing the overall rolling diameter by too much. a 215/45 is much better and retains a pretty much stock rolling diameter. i would only go a 235/40 if the rims were at least 8.5" wide. anything narrower and u will be riding ballon spec.

btw thats a hell dodgy spray job, couldnt the guy at least tape off the tyres.

honestly i wouldnt spend money on powder coating these. put that money towards better rims.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
