Tyres - Staggered vs Square

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

My current tyres are pretty worn out so I am wanting to replace them. When I bought my current rims I got a set of six Style 72 rims, two fronts and four rears. So now that I am replacing the tyres I am struggling to chose between to keeping it staggered with 225/255 or to go to a 235/40/R18 setup. At the moment it has 215/235 tyres.

I have test fit the 235/40/R18 on the front and the clearance is pretty tight but from what I have read on some other forums with people running same offset rims it should be fine. Have attached a picture below of how close the strut is to the rim below, does anyone know if this would be an issue or if I might run into any other fitment issues? The style 72 rears are 8.5x18" and have an ET50 offset. The Style 72 fronts are 8x18" and have an ET47 offset.

The other part I am trying to decide on is which tyres to get. At the moment I am looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 and the Falken Azensis FK510. Theres only a difference of about $200-300 which isn't massive, so I am just wanting to know if the Michelins are worth the slight premium. Or if anyone else has alternative suggestions I am open to those as well. 

Thanks guys, appreciate any feedback I get.

FK510 or PS4, both are good.  If the FK510 are a decent amount cheaper then get those.

Having played with a staggered and square setup on my 330ci I preferred the staggered setup. as to the tires the PS4s are a much better bet if you dont mid the extra cash.
