What spec tyres would I need for an 8" wide wheel as they are normally advertised as 250/640/18 or 25/64/18 instead of 225/40/18 like normal road legal tyres

640 is the height in mm. A 225/40/17 is 637.2mm if you work it out.250 or 25 is the width same as normal tyres. It's easier in reality as they give you the height instead of an aspect ratio. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
