Looks like 255/45 is an even better match. Can anyone confirm if they will fit the front? Identical sidewall match.

I just have the stock 235/50 on my fronts.

I think it may require spacers for the 255 45 up front? My rub on full lock...Originally Posted by RVAE34

I run spacers when I have the M pars on. It would be great if someone could verify though before I order.

Ha! Yeah, lame, I know.You're not helping
FWIW the 235s on the 8” wheels are almost the same tire width to wheel width ratio as the 285s on 9 1/2” wheels. They seem to match perfectly.

There is just so much stretch on the 235. I'd love to square up those sidewalls and get some more contact patch.

Here’s the front 235s.
Rear 285s.

Here is an example for you- 265/40/19 and 295/35/19 on 19x9.5 and 19x10.5
255 might be too wide for 8” wheel. But you never know. I put 305 tire on 10” wheel and it looks good

I saw it in person and it looked great

I think I will go 255/285 since that is what I have on the 19x10/10.5's now.

I know there is a thread somewhere where someone fan 18x9.5 all the way around and used the 255 45 up front

I had at least 2" clearance. Backed up with door open.

I forgot about square set option. 9.5’s all around would do. Or e39 rear wheels up front 18x9 and 18x9.5 for rear

Haha nice. Sometimes I wish for a driver's side dipping mirror as well.

So tempted!! Been wanting to get a tune and tuner said needs headers and exhaust first.

The e38 headers, which are probably the exact same header are $300 less.
