I'm contemplating buying a new set of wheels for my classic. They are 18s but what I am really interested in is what you guys think about the tites. They are 225/40/18 Lexani. I know this is a bit narrower than stock with a smaller sidewall. Will this end up being a problem with handling, tranny, or speedo? Any input will be greatly appreciated. By the way I will be selling the stock chromies that I am replacing. They are in flawless condition if you guys are interested.

As long as the tire height is +/-10% of 27.1" you should be fine.
FWIW I'm running 225/60/16s on winter tires with no issues with gear shifting or speedometer readings. As for your stock chromes, those are a hot ticket item, post up pics and prices in the Marketplace forum and someone will grab em

Go with the 235s. That's the stock size for the Classic. I think that the 225s might not be wide enough for that car.
