tire question
I am thinking about replacing the run flats that came on the car with a regular tire. i have the 18" wheel style 554 with 225/40 tires. Does anyone know if you can run a 235 tire of the car without any rubbing issues? would like to give the car a bit more tire for more aggressive cornering!

A 235/40 do you mean? Or 235/35? Because if you put the latter on an 18" wheel your speedo will be incorrect. Plus you won't get more aggressive cornering on a 235 tyre as opposed to a 225. Your first priority needs to be what tyre - something like Michelin Pilot Super sport will give you aggressive cornering, in the standard 225 size

235 tyres rubbing issues
BMW supply 235/35ZR19 in Australia, I have had a rubbing issue with these tyres on the M235i x drive (F44), front fender and wheel well liner damaged (fender lip pulled down by the tyre resulting in slight distortion on the bodywork plus fender pushed out a few mm) wheel well liner also cracked. This occured while driving on a sweeping left hand bend with an undulation in the road. The m235i absorbs the undulation much better than my E90 330D indicating that the suspension does a lot of work to isolate the car body. Unfortunately the result was wheel to car body interference. Should not happen when the tyres, rims, suspension etc are stock.
Cheers. |
