245 35 and 265 35 Front Rear anyone?

funseries · 08-04-2014, 09:13 AM

I saw a few pics searching but am looking for more. Just want to see if this setup looks a bit strange since the overall diameter of 245 35 is like 0.4in shorter than the 265 35.

Edit: For 18in wheels

Don't have any pics for you, but the lower profile will throw off your speedo and make the ride just a bit rougher.

Yeah not too worried about the speedo, just the look. I managed to find some more pics with different model cars and it doesnt look too weird really. I think I might just have enough room for a 255 in front anyways so I'll probably go with that instead.

I'm running that setup currently. It doesn't look weirded at all. The speedo is probably more accurate now seeing that BMW builds bias into their speedo which tends to read higher than the car's actual speed.
