In Reply to: Re: Larry about your wheel and tire combination... posted by bossy 88-735i on March 10, 2002 at 10:50:27:


a 245 40 18 is going to be a taller tire than
stock and will probably rub the strut with "20mm
offset" /8 inch wheel which is what Larry has. A
245 40 18 "may" clear the strut with a 13mm offset/8inch wheel..would be close. The correct
front tire selection with 20mm ET/8" rim
is a 235 40 18..same height as stock tire and
will clear the front strut..incidently..not by
much.
Best Regards,
George

Tirerack suggest
Front: Optional 18" 245x40-18
Rear: Optional 18" 245x40-18
or
Rear: Optional 18" 265x35-18
