Do not want stagered setup

pedser · 08-26-2011, 10:57 AM

I have a 2011 335d with the sport pkg, 18 x 8 in front and 18 x 8.5 in the back and need to get new rubber. I want to be able to rotate tires and need to know if anyone else have installed 18 x 8.5 in all fours.

Comments and tire suggestions are welcome!

Yes! its a Diesel!!!!

Check out some postings on the xi site; a few have done this with stock and aftermarket wheels.

I'm currently running on square 18x8.5 193M wheels in my E92 with no problem.

18x8.5 with a 235 all around works perfectly fine and will allow you to rotate your tires.

i thought bmw doesnt recommend rotating your set-up.

i would go staggered. more contact = more grip.

my 0.2

Charles, 255/35 all around even better!!!

Good comments, I currently have 195 double spoke rims and want to buy all season rubber, not much snow in my neck of the woods but plenty of ice, and my ride is a daily driver.

So the 235's would be 40's or 35's

Thanks

I run a square setup on 18x 8.5 with 245/40r18 on dunlop star specs

Running a square setup has allowed me to have a more neutral handling car and the ability to rotate tires around.

Instead of rotating I can get a separate set for winter, will a type 44 rim (1094-506-13) 8jx17H2:is47 will work with my 335d????

Thanks
