225/45/18 Front and 255/40/18 Rear

[zigger]

Buddy is selling his staggerd wheels off his 2005 M3.Front tires are 225/40/18 & rears are 255/40/18 . I am abit worried will these fit the rim and do u think I will have rubbing issues? I have a 2 " drop all apround Thanks

This is for a 2007 Ms6

225 will fit perfectly...the 255...no way in hell. The stock rim holds up to 235..no more than that. The 235 is not much of a good idea since it will most likely be hugging the rim, so 225 is just perfect for the stock rims. Any rubbing might occur with 235+ tyres...and it depends on the rims you have.

Also, staggered wheels/tyres do not work on a AWD vehicle.

yeah.... A buddy of mine has a ms6 and was looking into something like that.
(didnt workout)


you have awd dude

 

[zigger]

do u know what the problem was?

 

[Karma_hunden]

yeah, the wheel spin ratio. LOL. you see, if you have thicker tyres in the rear than in the front (or vice versa) on an AWD that is equally turning all 4 wheels, one have more grip than the others...in other words...is like putting a 16 inch wheel in one side and a 18 on the other. just doesnt work...you will eat the crown. and your tranny will be like a redneck...toothless and screwed.

The widest you can go is 245 (aftermarket rims required). With the stock rims--235s. Recommendable for stock rims--225.
