Pls advise: 235 on front 18in 313 style wheel

swifty · 04-28-2011, 11:43 PM

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get rid of my rfts and found a pair of PS2s for the front. They will be going on 313 18in wheel. Usually the fronts are 225 so question is will it fit on the wheel. I have no idea what size front 313s are. Also I'm lowered on TCKs. Will that pose a challenge?

Thnx in advance.

The 18" 313's are 18x8 up front and 18x8.5 rear. You can run a 235 if you want to. 225 would be a better fit.

k, thanks. Also will 265 fit in the back. Those are the only rears I can find. If I stick with 225 and go 265 in the back, will it understeer too much or should I go 235 so it will be close to square as possible.

I wouldn't put 265/35/18 PS2 tires on 18x8.5.

^ understood but what kind of issues will I face with the 235 on the 8in wheel for the fronts. One person responded that it will work but better to go with 225. Any particular reason.

Also what do you guys think of the Toyo T1R's. Anyone running these on 335i. The sidewalls too soft? I have read varying reviews on these on tire rack and other sites.

either 235 or 225 will work but a 225 will be more suited since its an 8" wheel.

I've ran the toyo t1r's before and no complain here.

I ran 235's and 265's on my 8" and 8.5" with absolutely no problem. Tires sit very square.
