ccdigmann · 07-05-2012, 02:53 PM

Hi guys!

I need to change my 135´s runflt tires and Im very excited with some new tires that offers me a friend, BUT they are one measure bigger than my oem´s

Can I replace them without any issue? I need to know if I can put 225 in front and 255 in rears

Your help please!

thx guys

225 and 255 should fit fine, in fact that seems to be a very popular size on the forum.

I have Michelin pss
Rear- 255/35/18
Front- 225/40/18
They fit without any issue and I'm pretty low with my kw v3 and camber plates.

I would deffinately recommend these sizes because they are very very close to the same height and circumference front to back. I think it's important for the tires to have the same measurements in this way because of all the electronically monitored things on our vehicles. I didnt want any issue with the abs or traction control.

I have non run-flat RE760's 225/255 on 8.5(+45)/ 9.5(+48) rims lowered with bmwp suspension. 4 adults in the car and no rubbing or hitting.

Depending on the offset of your wheels it would probably fit, ( I'm not 100% though as I haven't tried it)

BUT.... I think one thing to really look at is the tire height and circumstance of the front and rear tires, they Should match as close as possable for a street/ daily driver, because thy will turn at different rates and would probably affect the abs and traction control.
Look at a tire chart that shows the specs of all the different tire sizes your interested in an find a size that will give you the same height and circumstance on both front and rear tires.

Do lots of actual research befor spending the dough, not just what people say.
