New M3 reps and winter tires but wrong size

warpack · 12-03-2008, 06:24 PM

I just got my winter setup using the live.com cashback on ebay. 18" M3 reps 8/8.5 staggered and I thought I bought a set of 225/40/18 Dunlap Winter Sport M2s. Upon arrival the tires are 245/40/18!!! Checked eBay and I misread the size

. The rears will be fine but what about the front. Is 245/40/18 going to work on 18x8 ET34 rim? Will it rub?

Coupe or sedan?

It should be just fine.

I wouldn't recommend 245s for a winter setup. Try to see if you can exchange them for 225s.

225 might look a little streched on the 8.5 rim

I assume you mean the rims. Here you go. Seems to be pretty good quality. With 30% cash back it's pretty tough to beat for a winter setup.
