Right here's the thing..
I'm off to look at a set of M wheels at the weekend for my 3.0si coupe to run as winter wheels. They come with standard size M Vredstiein Wintrac Extreme winter tyres (255/40/18 on the rears and 225/45/18 on the fronts) that I am told are in almost new condition and have only done circa 3K miles.. The problem is I don't think these wheels and tyres will fit my car due to the M wheel offsetand the slightly higher profile on the tyres. I am told however; that standard 3.0 tyre sizes (255/35/18 on the rears and 225/40/18 on the fronts) on M rims will work OK with no or minimal rubbing issues.
So my potential plan would be to buy the wheels and tyres as they are but then remove the winter tyres and try and sell them on here to a fellow member with an M who is after some winter tyres at a good price. What I would like to do is try and gauge some interest if anyone would be interested in buying them?
So if anyone would be interested please PM me and let me know.
Many Thanks
John
