Stock 128i M Sport PSS setup?

jmcphillips1 · 02-07-2014, 04:00 PM

Does anyone know if I would encounter any issues going from my stock 205/50R17 in the Front to a 205/45R17? I really want to put on Michelin Super Sports but they don't make the exact size...closest I can get is the 205/45

I went 215/45 with no problems (7" being the "measured" rim width for the 215 Michelin as to why I chose 215 over 205 or square 225/45). Can't imagine 205/45 being a problem.

I just ordered a pair of PSS 225/45-17 for my fronts from Tirerack at the recommendation of Butch that works there. Very nice guy by the way.

I'll take pictures when i'm done, but I changed my order and ended up going with 215 for the front and 225 for the rear on stock M-Sport 128i rims in the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. All tires should be here on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have them mounted on Thursday morning and I can report back with photos and driving impressions.

You would of been fine with 225 square setup. That's what I ran on my 128i on 262 wheels at the track before. It was pretty good I thought compared to stock size. I'm lowered on H&R sport springs. Zero rub. This is my old setup by the way. I know have camber plates and different wheels and tires.

I went for the 215 up front just to save myself some cash.

I'm enjoying the PSS. Ride is improved and I feel confident with the traction I have when i'm driving, especially when the roads are wet
