Re: 18" wheels , what size tyres ?
I have exactly the same dilemma. My vans not lowered would like to fit 235/50 R18 on my Merc rims aiming for the ridding high look! But everything looks a bit too tight for clearance, so might go for 235/45 all round. Any recommendations on tyre make?

My van is not lowered and I went for 235/50 for rear and 215/55 with a bit of stretch on the front.

Yes I do. The wheels are 8.5j all round with et18 so sticking out of the wheel arch at the front. Hence narrower tyres.
