Tire size on Stagged DSll's??

[Doc325i]

Ok..so i just installed these Michelin Pilot sports on my stagged DSll's, 225/45ZR17 in the front and 245/40ZR17's in the back. i am wondering why i am having issues w/rubbing whenever i hit a bump in the road?

Front or rear?

[Jim@tirerack]

What is the offset of the wheels. Your alignment settings can have something to do with it as well. Is the car lowered?

[Doc325i]

The tires are hitting in the rear wheel-wells. I'm not really sure what the offset is on these wheels.

[Jim@tirerack]

Is the car lowered?

[Doc325i]

the car is not in any way lowered. I am using dealer's SACHS automatics in the rear

[Doc325i]

Any ideas??

[Jim@tirerack]

What is the offset of the wheels? That could cause a problem with rubbing.

[Doc325i]

I'm not sure what the offset of the wheels are. How can i find out the offset?

[Jim@tirerack]

It should be stamped on the backside of the wheel. Look for ET and a 2 digit number.

[Doc325i]

the offsets on the wheels are 41

+40 is fine...


I have 255's on the back and no rubbin without any rolling.

[Jim@tirerack]

With that size wheel and offset I don't see any reason why they would rub.
