265's on 18" MV3 alloys?

330cdsport · 03-24-2009, 08:33 AM

Hi all, the wife needs new rubber on the back of the touring.

I am gonna dump the RFT's and go for Falken 452's (really like them on my car) and was wondering can I go a size up (as i did) and go for 265/35/18's or even 275/35/18's on the rear?

Anyone else done this?

Thanks.

The rear 18" wheels are 8.5J, which are most suited to a 255 section tyre. If it were a 9J wheel, then going to 265 would be no problem, but given they're half an inch narrower, I'd suggest sticking to a 255 section...

Thanks Tony. I will just keep them the same size.

If anyone knows the answer - you do
