cunico Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Dear all, I'm from Italy and I own a 2010 Mondeo (facelift version, four doors, TDCi 163 Hp) which fits standard alloy wheels (8"x18", ET=55) with 235/45-18" tyres (while the old 2007 version fitted 235/40-18" tyres). Considering that I fitted Eibach springs (30 mm lowering) if I install 8.5"x18" ET=40 wheels could I have rubbing problems between tyres and wheel arches or can I fit these wheels on my car without problems? I found a lot of image in the web-site with this setup, but all these Mondeos fitted 235/40-18" (pre-facelift versions) while I don't find nothing about 2010 version (facelift, 235/45-18" tyres). My doubt is about rubbing between tyres and wheel arches for the excessive tyre "height" (/45 instead of /40). Please help me in this topic, because I'm ordering the new wheels (Tomason TN1). Many thanks for your kindness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunico Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Dear all, I have just installed Tomason TN1 (8.5x18" ET=40) wheels with 235/45-18 tyres on my MK4 Mondeo (facelift 2010 version). All is ok and the look of my Mondy is fantastic!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
