Correct/best tyre sizes on 18" Staggered M-Parallels

[Guest Simon*]

Hey guys (and specifically Jono)

I seek advice on tyre sizes for fitting on my 18" staggered 8 and 9" M-Pars (pictured below)

Currently I run 18x8.5" on 235/40/18 and 18x9.5" on 265/35/18, obviously on an E34 with a bit of drop and some negative camber in the rear.

Cheers

Id say 'as you are' mate. 235/40 and 265/35 is the correct size for 8's and 9's.

I have seen people with 245 on the front (255 even) and either 255 or 275's on the rear, but what you have now is what I would do.

Just hurry up and get them on......Ill have a new car before you get the wheels sorted !! Oh, I need to talk to you about your Bayerns too

Are you going to have them cleaned up Simon? I have a sneaky suspicion they are going to look top notch

Only as funds allow Graham, and as far as I'm aware we don't have anyone in the Bay who specialises in wheel refurb

Nice wheels there! Now if I could find a set of those for my E34 (or even a set of throwing stars...!)...
