Need help a.s.a.p.

[littlelee1]

Just installed my H&R race springs. AWESOME drop, they look great w/ my 18' rims. BUT they fit awesome with a 225/18/35 up front. Problem is I already bought Michelin pilot sports 245/18/40 to fit all around my car...someone said these would not fit

Will these fit on my car after my drop?

Thanks, I'm in DIRE need right now for this answer. Because this is my daily driver and I'm about to switch out tires If these do not fit, will koni shocks help with this problem?

I've also got some Mroadster rims, will these fit on the car with this drop?Thank you tire rack guys!

Well your choice of sizes is all wrong... where did you get your info?

However it's too tough to tell if your new ones will fit because there's other variables like camber, etc. 245/40R18 is too tall a tire vs. stock, so I'd have to GUESS that those won't fit on the front without spacers and won't fit on the rear unless you've rolled your fender.

Go get one mounted and test fit it.

One of my friends works at discount tire, he is mounting a 245/40/18 on the car as we speak and at lunch break were meeting up and seeing if this will fit. My rear fenders are rolled and I'm running 265's in the rear

That's the right way to do it.

I didn't notice that you're putting these on a Z3, so I don't know for sure about the fitment...

[littlelee1]

Yea, thats the problem, not a lot of people know about the z3's. I've heard of people using 245's on the front w/ coilovers and sometimes rubbing when turning the whell all the way to the left/right. But I only have H&R race springs w/ koni adjustable shocks that should be delivered here in about 2 days.

I'm hoping the koni adjustables on teh stiffest setting will not let it rub. Sucks you can't roll your front fender

The tire size you would really want would be 225/40R18 and or 245/35R18 for the car. The tires you have are about 1" taller than stock. If I can help let me know.

Do you have any pilot michelin sports that are 245/35/18. and are you SURE they will fit with my drop up front? I'm worried about rubbing issues and I cant roll my fenders up front, they are pre-rolled :(

[littlelee1]

Can i use something to change my offset to have this 245/18/40 fit up front correctly w/o rubbing?

[Jim@tirerack]

The problem is the tire is too tall. A spacer will just push everything further toward the fender lip.
