tires and wheels matching
Hello all,
My e90 lci 335i is on stock Run flats (225/45 r 17) right now, but they are busted. I want to upgrade to 18 inch wheels so I need to get fitting tires as well. This is my first time ever messing around with new tires and wheels so I was wondering what suggestions you could provide (height/width and measurements ratio) for tires to look at. I'm looking for a ride that's solid and sporty. **The VMR v710s got my attention (http://www.**********s.com/VMR-V710-...ggered-BMW.htm). If i were to get these rims, which tires (with specific measurements) should I look at. I'm looking to buying tires at costco - any suggestions on which kind to buy too? |

Expand the calculator on the top of this page. Try to match the specs so that your rolling diameter remains constant (or within 2,3% of stock) and your wheel pokes out just a bit more. Remember that the tire widht and the wheel width have to match (aka 8 calls for 215-235, 9 calls for ~245, etc). Do not hesitate to contact VMR directly to ask questions about a proper wheel fitment for your car and the matching recommended tire size.

If the wheels are 18X8 or 18X8.5 you would typically use 225/40R18 or 235/40R18 ,but without knowing the exact specs with offset we can't say for sure.
