I was conservative with the tyre choice seeing as at the time no one could tell me if the rims and offset would fit without rubbing, plus I was coming for the old 130 with 225's on the rear.
So I chose 225 F and 245 R on 18s, I think you could possibly get 255 on the rear.
As I have mentioned somewhere else (I am no expert) and I am sure Gill could confirm for me. There is not a lot of difference if you run 8" or 9" on the rear if the ET's and tyre widths are the same. If I am correct, the ET is offset from the centre line of the rim and hence if the tyre width is the same on the two rim widths then they are in a similar position to the centre line of rim (other than the shape of the tyre due to rim width).
Gill, do you want to comment?
