Im looking at various tyre / wheel combinations.
What is the maximum width that fits comfortably on a 4WD Bongo with 18" wheels, 225 or 235 ?

Depends on the wheel width too doesn't it?

Yep :D Absolutely massive (if you could afford them) on a 10J wheel 8) but probably mean changing from a 3 point to a 10 point turn :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was reading that as How Wide A Tyre Before It Starts Rubbing The Front Arches

245s are right on the limit, aren't they?

Its going to depend on the offset as well.
RX8's with 245/45/18 are OK if that helps.
