Snow Tires: Can I run 235/40 all around on my 8"F / 8.5"R 335i Sport

flyinb501 · 08-01-2016, 03:42 PM

I have the opportunity to pick up some Blizzaks for a good deal locally and I'm wondering if I would have an issue running this size all around on my stock sport wheels, which are 8" wide front and 8.5" wide rear. Thanks in advance!

I think it should work, but you should check the tire specs (on tirerack) to see if they fit properly on the 8" wheel.

Perfectly fine. I ran 245/40 square on the same size wheels.

The listing is for Blizzak WS70 model, but I couldn't find any info on that model for that size on the internet. Tire Rack has the WS80 model and says it fits rim widths of 8" - 9.5". Do you think it's safe to assume the WS70 would be the same?

Yes. 235 on 8'' wheel is an OEM size for a lot of manufacturers. Not to mention I had a 245 on 8'' wheel and it didn't look bulged at all.
