You are joking of course (price of tyres that is)? How much were the wheels (if you don't mind me asking)? Are there any issues with the tyres rubbing the wheel arches with the larger size?Sorry for the delay have been away , yes td imola 18 x 8 , 215 x 35 front 235 x 40 rear no spacers Vauxhall centre caps . I will probably upgrade tyres next time around as they only cost £180 for all 4 .

Wheels were £500 , the tyres were £180 , the plus and minus to me seem better grip in dry but in the wet the front is lighter , the weight of the steering is fine

The front will be lighter in the wet due to your Hifly tyres
Looks good though! I agree about the front arch gap...weird.
