215/40-18

anyone running this tire size on the JCW suspension?

Need new tires for my 18's and debating between the stock size and the 215/40s.. Looking to cheat a little on wheel well gap, and add a pinch of cushion..


Expirience + pics please! What say you!

We have the 215/40x18's on both GP's and they're perfect! Running the Hankook V12 Ventus...great tire...quiet, excellent response, super value.

the pic you sent me of the track rat is running 17's isnt it?

Any chance you have any profile pics of a GP running the 215/40s? Stock JCW suspension, correct?


If you have the pic, please email it to the same address you sent the HSPort pic.

Thanks!

TRACKRAT was running 15's in that pic with 225/50x15 TOYO RA1's. I also have a set of 17's with 215/45x17 NITTO NT-01's. E-mail on it's way to you.

I'm way lower than springs and I use 215/40/18 on mine and no issues. No wheel gap. Actually tucking tire in the rear
