^^^^^^ I think the Interlagos are 8''



They should fit really unless there is ridiculous offset.  :chicken:

Got the Interlagos off at the weekend, 8.0jX18H2, ET41, Not quite sure what all that means, but if I do put any smaller than 235 will this stop the rubbing on the arches?

That spec would make it about 16 mil more poke than a Monza, so i can see why you are getting rubing under compression.
If you go down a tyre size to 225 this will help a bit, but i reckon you will still get rubbing especially if you have only installed springs.  :happy2:

Mine are 18x8ET42 and don't rub the rears on a 225 - I think the tyre swap will cure it, don't forget a 235 is a bit taller in profile too (40 is a ratio, not a measurement)
Sideways yo!
