Tires on new VMR v710 18's

Black Gold · 01-31-2011, 10:43 PM

I have an LCI e90 335. I also am installing coilovers which will drop the car about the same as an eibach spring, so not an extreme drop.

The wheels are 18x8.5/18x9.5 with 35/33 offset.

What size tire should I go with? I see most go with 235/265 but man Id love to be able to fit 245/275's if I can. (yes i know its retarded, but I love fat tires)

What should I get? Im not interested in rolling my fenders and want to avoid rubbing.

To avoid rubbing with the lowered ride height, I would recommend sticking with the 235/265 setup. These tire sizes will be flush with the rims edge.

235/35/19 and 265/30/19 will be safe. I've seen 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 but it may require a fender roll.

Yep, just adjust the profiles for 18's. You are correct.

I am getting my coilovers installed on thursday and will update with pics. I am thrilled with the wheels and am happy with my decision to get 18s. I prefer them over 19s and the cheaper tires is just a bonus.

I really want to see some 18" V710s. Trying to save some dough by going with 18s, but not if it looks bad.

Well yeah, I've seen that pic a few times, I try to do my homework on things like this

Thanks though. Just don't see many other cars with 18" aftermarket wheels around here. At least not good looking ones...

Black Gold · 02-15-2011, 07:07 PM

Well idk if you will like the way my car looks with vmr710 18s but I love it.

I have my st coils installed and will take pics tomorrow. Imo the combo looks excellent.

And I did get conti dw tires in 235/40 and 265/35

Black Gold · 02-15-2011, 09:25 PM
