i had a question about 18" tire sizes. anyone know if a 40x235-18 tire with 40mm offset rim would fit without having to roll the fenders? __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by bubela I’m happy in my blissful ignorant euphoria! Simple man, simple mind, bigger hammer! | 1996 318ti base

Afternoon chaps, I recently stumbled across this forum site and have to say, most impressed! I bought a 318ti in September quite cheap but a very unloved car, I'm trying to get it back to how it should be, and so far I have the interior pretty much sorted, just need to get the radio fixed (any pm's for tips much appreciated!) I suppose being on the tyre section I should really ask about tyres, so my question being, how big can you go? With regards to a standard 1998 model 318ti at the moment I have some hideous 15 inch alloys which are truly awful, looking in the Haines manual it only gives reference to 15 and 16 inch wheels, but how much bigger can you go than 16 without the tyres scrapping on the fairings? Regards, Chris. | | | | | 02-15-2010, 06:00 PM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Long Beach, SoCal Posts: 373 |

Although some people have been known to go lower with modification's. H&R springs are tried and proven. Koni or Bilstein shocks and struts are a trusted manufacture. here is an image of my ti with 18". My fenders are untouched. __________________

The reason my car looks so tucked in front is that Im running a raked suspension. I have stock M-sport springs in the rear and H&R sports in the front. And also the pic is taken downhill.  This reason I do this is purely becuase my garage is on very slanted hill, and it makes it almost impossible for clearance had I went any lower. If I had a flat driveway, id' be on some cooljess slamage ish w/ z3 race rear's and all that mess. At any rate best of luck w/your tire selection. __________________
