Best Tire Sizes for E92

rmorin49 · 01-10-2007, 08:53 PM

The tires I want to buy, Toyo Proxes 4, are not sold in the correct OEM 18" staggered fitment, no 255-18. What is the best combination of front and rear sizes that are available in the Proxes 4 in an 18" size?

What about running the same size at all four corners? Is a 235-40-18 the best size?

What about other similar all season tires?

Anyone running Beyern wheels from BuyWheelsToday? They offer both Beyern wheels and Toyo tires.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm also interested in the TOYO Proxes 4. These would work great with a 19 setup but I want to run these on the stock 18 first.

225/40-18
255/35-18 <- no rear fitment

Can anyone reccommend size(s) to go with?

I'm being told by one vendor to go with 245-40-18 Front, and 275-35-18 Rear. Not sure these will work on the stock 18" SP wheels. Someone else should know. If I lease I need to keep my OEM wheels, so I may run the RFTs for a while and then replace with Proxes 4. BTW, the Proxes 4 are great tires. I have them on my MINI and they perform well in dry, wet, and snow.

The Proxes 4 come in a 255/45/18. The O.D. changes by quite a bit though.
