Wheel & tire help needed
Hello. I'm looking to upgrade the wheels on my '99 C2. I've decided on 18×8.5et 45 up front & 18×11et50 out back.
I'm trying to figure out what size tires would be best for a nice clean look that's not too stretched looking. I was thinking along the lines of 225/40s in the front and 285/35s in the rear.
Is this an okay tire setup to use or will it make the car handle like crap?
While on the topic: I'm considering using Pirelli P Zero (non run flat) 97Y. Are these okay?
Help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well thats a mk2 that comes with the fenders already rolled and u dont know how much camber is in the back. If u want them to fit with no issue go with a 60-63et. If u want 50et it may take some mods to get it to work.

I do have a fender roller, heat gun and air saw, if necessary.
