Hey gang.
Am about to purchase Beyern Mesh wheels 18x8.5 all round.
What would you recommend as far as tyre size?
1010 tires suggested 225/45/18

I would go for 245/40/18, (which is also the standard size for the M-sport package). 225'ers are for 17" and not 18" if you ask me.

+2. That's the recommended size for OEM to stay within diameter specifications. I run those in front.
