winter tires on e90

e90_guy · 09-10-2010, 04:07 PM

Can I put 4x 235/45/18 winter tires on 335i with sport package and staggered wheels? The summer setup is 225/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear. Thanks

Why not go with the OEM size 225/40/18?

because his back wheels would be too wide

I was considering using my staggered OEM 18's for winter and 225/40/18 will fit front and rear even though the rear wheels are half an inch wider. 235/45/17 will increase the wheel height slightly and there is no benefit of a wider tire in winter, especially if you drive in any snow.

225/40/18 will fit on 18x8.5 without any problem.
