What tires setup for four 18x8 wheels ? (135i)

studio54 · 05-15-2018, 05:01 PM

Hello,

I bought the car with aftermarket wheels already installed.

The four wheels have the same size which is 18x8.

The car has currently :

- 215 40 tires front
- 245 35 tires rear

I plan to change all four tires, what would you advice for good handling ?

I thought about :

- 225 40 front
- 245 35 rear (i guess 255 is too big for 8J ?)

Any ideas??

The offset of the wheels would help us decide better. They should be made into the back side of the wheel.

Yep, I would not go bigger than 245 on an 8in wheel. I'd probably do 225/245 option you listed.

Okay thanks, i will see this tomorrow, but i believe the offset is 40.
