Wheels & tires for square setup
Currently running this square setup:
18x8 ET 40 - O.Z. Ultraleggera 235/40/18 - Nitto NT01 Car is a 2008 135i. TC-Kline double adjustable shocks, springs and camber plates. 2 degrees camber all around. Fenders are rolled. I'd like a bit more rubber while maintaining a square setup. 245 would be nice, 255 would be great! Also, 17" would be awesome! Questions: 1. What wheel size, offset and optional spacers do I need to be able to run wider tires? 2. What size tires to go with that? Thanks! |

Depending on the tire it will have a stretch to it but it will work without doing any camber or rolling of fenders. |

Great and timely thread for me!
I'm looking at a new set of rims and tires and would also like to know if these would rub with a slightly lower suspension (<1" front and back) and stock alignment (maybe some moderate camber). Rims: D-Force LTW5 Front: 17x8.0, ET40, 225/45 Rear: 17x8.5, ET40, 245/40 This is a street setup that may see a Autocross or two during the year. |

Thanks for the input. It is a set of Kosai 17"X 8.5" wheels with Continental DWS 225/45 tires. They are left over from a Z4 that we no longer own. I would use them only for the occasional snow we have here in Albuquerque. Otherwise I'm using 18"x8" Breyton wheels with 225/40 Contintntal DW in each corner. A set up I really like.
