I have the chance of buying a set of revolution milleniums 18x8 ET48 with 225/40/18 toyo proxes R888 , I know I will need to change the tyres to 215/35/18 as my type r is lowered would I need to get my arches rolled due to the width of the wheel .

These are the ones I'm looking at buying I would need to sell the tyres as they are no use to me

Yes.
ET51 are very close and depends on tyre manufacturer and their sidewall design.
ET50 or less and 8 inch will require rolling.

Personally I prefer Revolutions in 17's on a classic. The face of the wheel is very flat and doesn't suite the classic so well.

Cheers scott 7.5 it is then .

I've been searching round trying to find the image I saw of 18's where they looked strange/too flat. It may just be the colour choice, being a bit dark.....

However, during the search I have found some very nice images, with some referencing 8x18. you may get away with it if you stretch 215/35's on.

I could run 40's but I would need to raise the car a little bit to get to sit the right height .

Scott.T 17-01-2015 05:43 PM

You can't run 40's on 18's on a classic without rubbing.
The tyre will interfere with the arch before making contact with the Bumpstops.

Whats the price on those wheels/tyres Scotty?

Could be interested in the tyres if they work out well priced (and maybe the wheels too if you don't have them ;))
