some great advice here!
Sorry for asking a stupid question, but why do BMW put 255wide on their 9J rears - that is whats on my current rear wheels - if 265 fits good as well. I imagine it would give better edge protection to the alloys too?? I only ask cause I was looking to change to a 230 style wheel and would consider the wider rear if you guys thought it was better (ie for grip/tyre choice etc). Also, would going from 255/30 to 265/30 be a problem as it would slightly increase the over rolling circumference of the wheel?
Cheers all.
