I think you will need 225 or 235 for the fronts mate.

They will fit on the front, but definitely NOT on the back. Also, they are the wrong profile, as having a staggered fitment means you need staggered profile tyres too. Ideally, you would want 235/40/18 on the front, and 265/35/18 on the rear.

I agree, completely pointless buying a set of correctly offsetted and staggerd wheels to chuck on a set of tyres with all four equally sized?
They are too wide for the front and not wide enough for the back! |
