im in desperate need of some new tyres, trouble is finding a set to fit my wheel is not going to be easy unless i order them in.

does anyone know of anywhere round here that is likely to have stock of 245/35/18 tyres?

I dont think anywhere will actually have that size in so will have to order in anyway.

My tyres were ordered on the friday and came first thing monday morning before 11am.

However you can order off blackcircles or mytyres and choose a fitting option, the tyres will be delivered to the place and your car booked in at a certain time.

chers gareth, the tyres i have now seem very stretched, and as i just ordered what was on there no one wants to fit them as they say they are not wide enough.

so looks like im going to have to order another bloody set, what width tyre do i actually need to fit on a 9.5j wheel?!?

the ones that are on there now are 245/35/18 and im now told this is not wide enough.

so should i got for a 255 or a 265?

John,
According to my Toyo bible, a 245/35/18 is suited to an 8-9.5J rim so is really pushing it on your wheels with it being such a low profile too.
A 255/35/18 is for an 8.5-10J so should be better. A 265/35/18 is for a 9-10.5J so would be ok too and probably easier to fit than the 255.
Hope that helps
Try HMT on 301999. He will not have them in stock, but he is really careful with rims.
