I've got 225/40/18s on 8 inch rims on the front of my MGB...tight fit
we had to open the guards(make the circle larger) and a bit of inner guard
work. The fronts running custom suspension so i'm not even sure if this combo
would work on standard B suspension...On the rear i've got 255/35/18s on
9=" rims....this is an easy fit and requires no work apart from folding over
the lip on the guard...
enjoy
