+1 on 2008 335 Coupe Sport...Any Issues?

orientblue3 · 08-21-2009, 10:26 AM

Hi all,

Has anyone gone from the 225/40/18's & 255/35/18's to 235/40/18's & and 265/35/18's and had any issues?

Thanks!

235/40R18 fits the front wheels with no problem, but the minimum recommended rim width for 265/35R18 tires is 9". The OE rear wheel is just 8.5" wide.

Thanks Gary. So no 265's then. So what are your thoughts about doing a 235 up front vs. the stock 225? (Assuming you leave the 255's in the rear).

Don't do what? 235's in the front with 255's in the back?

Ditto. I would stick with the 255 rears as the max width on a 8.5" wheel.

Thanks for the input. Should I stick with 225's in the front or go with 235's? What are the benefits or drawbacks of going bigger in the front while staying stock size (255) in the rear?
