Tire sizing VMR VB3

SJ408 · 03-07-2016, 10:46 PM

What size tires will fit with these specs?

I dont track my car. Strictly for daily driving purposes. I dont mind ride quality too much as long as long as im not hitting my head every bump.

Currently riding on stock Style 189 with stock RunFlats.

Car:
E90 335i LCI
Lowered on HR sport cup kit
No fender work done

Rims:
VMR VB3
18x8.5 et 35
18x9.5 et 33

Thanks!!!!!!

If you don't mind a mild stretch, you can run your current stock tires on the new wheels.

Otherwise, the "proper" sizes would be:

F: 255/35-18
R: 295/30-18

235/40/18 front. 275/35/18 rear. .
Certainly wouldn't put a 295 on a 9.5 wheel.

Id argue 235/40/18 in the front and 265/35/18 in the back would be the "proper" size. Personally I'd go one width size down and run 225 and 255 front and back respectively, to get a little stretch in the tires.

235/40/18 and 265/35/18 is what we typically recommend. Some choose to run a 275 in the rear. Give me a shout if there's anything I can help you out with!
