Before I pull the trigger: Square setup - 225/45-18 on 18x18?
Stock setup on my 330i x-drive:
staggered 791M 8x19 ET27 with 225/35-19 8.5x19 ET40 with 225/45/-19 Bridgestone summer something or others As the Netherlands doesn't get much snow fall I'd rather get good All-seasons over a specific snow tire that will wear away to nothing in one winter of little to no snow. I've been looking at Tire Rack, whom I trust, but I thought I'd double check to see if anyone else has gone the size route I'm planning. At this point I have the stock (not blue) brakes... I'd like to upgrade in the future. What is the difference in size on the M-Sport vs M-Performance? If I tell Tire Rack's configurator that I have the M-Sport brakes I would imagine any wheels that fit the Sport will fit the Performance? Anyway, I'm looking at this setup: OZ Omnia 18x8 ET35 for all four corners 225/45-18 for all four corners I plan on going the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ route Before anyone asks, I used the various calculators on wheel-size.com and I think I'm in good shape. I compared 225/40-19 to 225/45-18 and diameter is only off -0.4%. As for the wheel/tire combo between old and potential new setup it appears I'm gaining 6% on the backspace by increasing the offset. Rim diameter is down 26mm... That's my only concern for any future brake upgrades. Basically, this rambling thread is: -me talking the whole thing out -me asking if anyone else has gone the 8x18, 225/45-18 route Any input would be great, thanks! |
