CS7 w General Max AS-03 good fitment?

barnsdale · 03-12-2013, 10:54 AM

I'm planning on running 225/40/18 fronts and 255/35/18 rears and I want to make sure this fits good, is anyone running this on their Alufelgen rims?

I was going to get Michelin Super Sports but I keep seeing people rubbing on the passenger fender and I can't be bothered with that so I'm looking at running a UHP all season for the best of dry, wet and light snow before putting on my dedicated winters.

If anyone is running this set up?

I'm pretty sure we are running 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 super sports on one of our families 135i and there is no rub, same thing with the same sized Direzza Z1 Star Spec on my 135i, 4 people in the car even and no rubbing over bumps.

I really would not recommend all seasons, they provide mediocre everything.

It seems to be hit or miss depending on the car with the super sport rub, plus I planning on installing KW or ST coilovers.

I've been thinking either Gmax or Hankook V12 summers - seems like lots of people run the ?Hankooks with no problems. I'm going to have winter tires so I'm really just looking for something that's all around good for handling as it's my daily driver and weekend highway driver for road trips in the GTA area.

Honestly spend the money buy good tires, it's worth it, especially if you already have dedicated winter tires.

You can fit 265s on the CSLs

Would you then run 235's in the front with 265 in the back?

Cost isn't an issue - I was really set on spending the extra $$$ for the Michelins but I won't be happy if there is rubbing as I'm OCD with that sort of thing.

What else are people running on these rims that are good tires for the money?

Thats my plan for CS7s on MPSS is the 235/265 setup. It might be close, but im willing to adjust the fenders if necessary.

Nice - I just created another thread hoping to find others that are running this with no rub or fender rolling.

Awesome - what tires are you using?

barnsdale · 03-14-2013, 08:33 AM

Decided to go with a set of Potenza RE760's for summer only performance and good price point.

Nitto NT05s. I am going to go to 285s when I get better offset wheels, still without rolling.
