18'' wheels on an E92

pimp4cheddar · 12-09-2011, 12:19 PM

Hey folks...

I've tried looking but nothing!!!

I think I found a set of wheels for my car.

They are 18x8 (front) and 18x9 (rear) - ET is around 20.

---------------------

The tires are stressing me out though.

I'm going with a 225/40/18 tire for the front...

BUT I'm thinking about going with a 245/40/18 tire for the rear. Is a 40 sidewall too much for an 18'' wheel in the rear?

Or should I stick to a 245/35/18 or 255/35/18 tire for the rear?

I figured since the tire is a little stretch...it might fit with a 40 sidewall.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts on tire size for the rear wheels?

I am sure a 40 will be fine.....there is no way the tolerance is that close

That's what I figured...but I couldn't find anyone running a 40 sidewall rear tire so I was worried.
