Pic Request (different tire sizes)

NcMike · 12-31-2019, 01:17 PM

Does anyone have pics of an E9x with 235/45r17's and 245/40r17's.
Trying to figure out if you can tell a difference between those and the stock 225/45/17 (side wall size difference, that is).

225/45/17 = 10.1cm sidewall
235/45/17 = 10.6cm sidewall
245/45/17 = 9.8cm sidewall.

Less than half a cm difference, you wouldn't be able to notice.

235/45/17. Looks basically the same as 225, practically imperceptible. They happened to be cheaper than 225s but otherwise not really much of a reason to up-size.

Yep, top is with the 235s in the front. Bottom has the old 225s (not that you can notice a difference). Standard 255/40/17 in the rear.
