Anyone running INTRA wheels on their 036?

[Ingvar]

Are any of you running Intra 8x18 wheels? They are AMG Monoblock/Styling II replicas, or more correct duplicates. It’s hard to see the difference between the Intra and AMG wheel if it weren’t for the embossed logo on the AMGs. The good thing about the Intras is the offset, they come in both et35 and et20. Needless to say the 8x18 et20 would be the one to choose for the 036. Then comes the tire size question. The obvious choice for these and other 18´´ wheels would be 245/40. But have anyone tried 225/45 18? They have a slightly larger circumference/ diameter than the original dimension 225/55 16 but I believe they would work. Below a picture of the Intra wheels.

I have not however I like the offset choice and the lack of logos. A friend has a similar set of replicas in 17x9. I run 225/45/18 tires on an 8 inch wheel at times. They are a good circumference match to 255/40/18 as well as 275/35/18. As you said, very close to stock dimensions. No computer problems with either setup.
