Is a square setup 245/45/17 gonna rub on stock 07 e92?

Depends on a tire brand

Ok......?
So what tire brands work? I've never heard of the tire itself being the deciding factor.... Usually it's the offset of the wheel. I don't know what offsets the 185's have, but can anyone else chime in?

It will not rub on your monster truck.

Falken intros and some michelins have rounded shoulders so won't rub, hancook and a few other rft hav square shoulders so will likely rub

You should be fine on stock suspenison.

From what I know about tire brands here how they size up:

Small:
Falken ST,ZE, Fk451
Fuzion ZRi
Nankang NS-2

True:
Nitto 555
Michelin PS
Dunlop SP
Nexen n3000 (square sidewall)
Hankook 104, v12, v4
Toyo T1S
Yokohoma S-Drive

Large:
Continental
Kumho SPT
Federal 595
Falken Fk452
Nitto Invo

Will a 245 tire even fit on the 185 rim? That rim is only 8" wide (17x8, ET34).

FWIW stock on that rim is 225/45/17. I have those as a winter setup on my '07 335i E93

kamek · 12-09-2012, 07:56 PM

Should be fine, but why deviate from stock 225?
