Will these tyres be too wide?

Post by oalloyd1 » Sat Jun 03, 2017 11:21 am

Hi all,

I'm looking at running a 17" square set-up on my 2003 Z4 3.0 E85 and want to check if they'll be a risk of rubbing at the front - this is key as it's going to be a track car.

I'm going to use 8.5J and the usual tyre size for this would be 245

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331508202103

My question is if I use the attached tyres will they rub if the car has been lowered 30mm or so? Or will they run anyway if I lower it or not?

Cheers all!

You need the offset numbers to come up with a answer & whilst you mention 245 the link shows 255 40 tyres :? is that your plan for the fronts :cry:
