2014 F20 Tyre help
Hey - need some advice/help
Just picked up m6 reps (18 x8j) all around and planning to fitting them today. I am have ordered 225/40r18 all around for a square set up. Any issues with this? Also, attaching a pic of the actual wheel - My car is a 2014 118D sports plus Cheers |

Yes, as Ovekvam says, and try to keep to the original rolling size of the wheels + tyre to keep the speedo reading correctly. Check your original tyres specifications for the diameter. You need to look at the aspect ratios. |

Thanks! Was at the tyre shop this morning and 225/40's are a lil too thin for roads in India. We tried a 235/40 profile and there was no issues at all with rubbing etc so going with 235/40's all around. Offset is 37

I do have the same rims. I use 225/35/19 front and 245/35/19 (would actually go with 30 (factory suhhests 225/35/19 front 245/30/19 rear) but could not find it). The rear is ok but the front rubs during jumps if the wheels are facing left or right. It looks great tho.
Edit: In order to further improve the feedback, it rubs due to low ET (37 to 42 or something) since an M6 uses a wider body. I guess the 18" will have the same problem. I also run on HR springs. And no matter what you do, do not allow any body to shave the ET as it may turn out to be a hazardous move. Regars Last edited by Slyly; 05-05-2015 at 02:52 PM.. Reason: Improved feedback |

Thanks. I got 235/40 all around but they stick out a wee bit and i hate that!! Planning on changing tires tomorrow. Any suggestions on what may help? Will 225/40 solve this issue? I dont want my tires to stick out

As i understand, by stick out you mean the ET. Unless you choose a rim with a higher ET your tires will stick out.
Is it the tire (rubber) or the rim that is sticking out? If that is the rubber you need a smaller base of the tire (225 instead of 245 i.e) |

Thanks - its just the rubber that is out by a few mm. I went with 235's cuz Indian roads are terrible and wanted that extra rubber with 18 inchers. Will post a pic so you can see what i am talking about. May try 225 though.......
