What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[ZHPizza]

the firehawks do seem a bit narrower, yeah - BP's got them in 255's and they do seem narrower on an 8.5" wheel - they actually look really good on that width.

18x9 ET42 would be the right choice for a sedan, and for keeping the track widths the same ratio F/R as they are stock. i hear you on the Call Of The Concave.... but dang man, you're going to need to roll the frig out of the rear fenders, and i don't think you're going to be happy with that.

Check check check yo tread width bois. I keep seeing all this discussion of what wheels will fit what and 255's and blah blah so I looked up the specs for my wide ass 235/40r18 Coopers:

Size Tread Width (mm)
235/40R18 8.46 (215)
245/40R18 8.82 (224)
255/35R18 8.66 (220)

yupyupyup the tread on my 235's is only 5mm narrower than the same tire in a 255 (note that the 245 is even wider!)

Tire sizing is not even a little bit consistent.

Where did you find the specs for the tires? I tried to find it on Tirerack but couldn’t find them...

I found them on Cooper's website, but Tirerack has them for a lot of tires. Michelin PSS:

You have to click on the "Specs" tab once you're viewing the tire;



Then you see the widths;

Is there any reason I couldn't or wouldn't want to use my current OEM sized staggard front and rear tires on four 18"x8.5" ET35 wheels? I'd hate to have to junk a set of tires.
My problem is that the Apex SM-10s only come in a few offsets... none are really suitable for a staggered setup...

Washed it and been using it the past few days. Kids love “the blue car”
