Tyre size help!?!?!?!

Currently running 215/35/18 on my cooper s which has the jcw handling option. Can i widen the tyre to 225/35/18 without causing any issues? Looking to do this just to the front only to help with traction.

I think you can do that size and be ok.
Fits rims 7.5-9" wide, 24.2" outer tire diameter, 87 load rating

Double check with Alex@tirerack.com.
Good luck.

Until recently I was running that same size (225-35/18's) all the way around and had no clearance problems, front or back. I have Koni adj shocks with 3/4" lower springs.
