235/55/18 All Terrain Fitment

[reganpickles]

Hi!

Currently have a 2019 T6 LWB T30 with H&R -40mm lowering springs with Koni shocks and am looking at putting General Grabber AT3 235/55/18 on my amarok alloys (7.5j +45)

As far as I can research on here I think it should work but would appreciate it if anyone running the same or similar set up can confirm the tyre size and offset before I put an order in for them.

bonus points for photos

thanks!

Already done that and seems to only be a little bit taller than what I’m running (255/45/18) Just not sure if that will mean hitting inner guards or not under compression.

I'd assume it'd be OK then if there's not much in it, only one way to find out

Suck it and see!

Here picture of my general grabber at3 235/55 R18. And I have the Eibach -30/40mm lowering springs. I am super pleased with the tires, specialty on gravel roads, works fine also in the city.

Love this! Thanks!
What’s the road noise like?

What’s the road noise like?

Almost the same as the normal 245/45 r19 summer tyres. Can't say that the tires make more noise then other tyres, but in my case i drive normally under 100km/h.

They fit! Super happy with how they came out. Very smooth and actually not as loud on the freeway as the stock tyres.

What tyre pressure are you running yours at?
Currently got 44psi (cold) in the front and 42psi (cold) in the back but not sure if this is too much/not enough

hi

I've been looking at fitting the same wheels and tyres, but when i went to order them, i was told i couldnt put the General grabbers at3 on an 18" wheel as they will not fit, have you had any trouble with this size, rubbing etc

No problem, have driven now for 2x summers.

I have run 235/55/18 General Grabber AT3s since 2017. Various wheels and never had any issues. Ran 235/60 for a while but these did scrub on lock while the suspension was compressed.
235/55 on as we speak. For an AT they're quiet and handle well.

Perfect stance!

Can I ask you about the height of the rear wheel arch?

I have my Cali lowered with Eibach Pro Kit (ca. 40mm) and the height on the rear axle is 72 cm from wheel arch to the floor.

Using the Fitmen Calculator it shows a Diameter from 71,57 cm..



I would love to put them on the Cali, but I dont think they will fit..

Thanks!

Did you try this ?

 

[GordoCLM]

Did you try this ?

As i mentioned here (LINK) my lower axle was too low and uneven, so i went to my local store and they rose it up about 20-25 mm to make it even on both sides and with the front axle. And then i put the Grabber on
