Will 225 45 18" tires...

Demetrius Joel · 09-16-2014, 09:54 AM

Fit on my staggered set of M235 wheels? Looking to change out for the winter. I bought a brand new set of winters for my F30 and no linger have the car. Was wondering if those winter tires will fit on to the M235 rims. Thanks.

Technically you'd want to run a 225/40/18 tire for the 235, so the 225/45/18 will be 22.5mm taller.
But it could work at stock ride height, I dont know for sure as we've never tested that.

thanks for the feed back. i am riding on stock height. another question is will those tired be able to fit the stock/staggered wheels?

Yes they will fit fine.
I run 225/45/18 winters on my stock staggered wheels with no issues and my car is lowered quite a bit. I actually went with that size for extra ground clearance in the snow.

Good thread!
Chris, any drawbacks to doing this? Like will the front tires rub at all?
Demetrius, let me know how it works out for you.
I'm thinking of doing the same for extra ground clearance, didn't think about it before, but its a good idea!

CANBeamer · 09-21-2014, 10:06 PM

also how about on bumps, when shocks go up?

Thanks

CONTROL ONE · 09-24-2014, 08:43 PM

Very interested in this as well. Was planning on going 225/40/18 all around with Nokian Hakka R2s but this has me rethinking doing 225/45/18.

Chris in Japan · 09-25-2014, 04:18 PM

Only time l get rubbing is when the wheels wells fill up with packed snow, and my car is low. I snowboard 5 days a week in the winter and works great for me.

What are the particular tyres and wheel sizes with offset that you are using? I'm assuming they are rubbing somewhere, where is that? I've run 225/45-18 winter tyres on 18x8 ET45 wheels for over 10,000km with no rubbing.

Just throw 10mm spacers on an you'll clear without rubbing.

Unfortunately that will make the offset ET20.

Oh crap, wasn't thinking and didn't realize it was the opposite lol I'm on ET40 on 225/40/18 and 245/35/18 and I'm sitting pretty flush.
