I just checked specs on http://www.thecarconnection.com/spec...formance-specs and it indeed says that all the tires are the same size in front and rear. They look awfully strange though.. |

I don't have the sports package, but I am looking for rear tires that are larger in the back. What would you recommend? I want it to look more even.. Also, I forgot to mention that I will be considering to change to 18 inch tires and rims later on. Any recommendations? |

I don't know what you're smoking, but the 328 base model also has a square setup in both coupe and sedan. It is the sport package that introduces staggered rims/tires.

Thanks buddy. Any recommended brands for tires? I'm looking to spend under $2,000 for a nice tire/wheel package. 18 inches.

I own a 135i but I believe:
128i without sport package comes with 205 all around on 17" rims With sport package or m-sport you get 205 in the front and 225 in the rear, still 17" |

Cool.
Yeah a 225 / 40 / ZR / 18 for example is: 225mm width 40% of that width is the sidewall height ZR is the speed rating (one of many, Z was once the highest but other letters are higher now) 18 is the rim diameter in inches A total height (in theory, as there are always small variables creeping in) is: 40% of 225mm for the sidewall at the top + 18" of rim + another 40% of 225mm for the sidewall at the bottom ________________ = the entire diameter of the wheel and tire Have to do some unit conversion (ie 1" = 2.54cm) of course. But you can use this to compare OE to something aftermarket - such as if you wanted to go to a 19" wheel, and you had a 225mm tire, you can backtrack the #'s to see if you wanted a 30, 35, 40 series or whatever to keep the same diameter as stock (and thus the speedo reading right, less likelihood of hitting the suspension, etc.). |
