Wheel fitment help

Post by Plumby321 » Tue Feb 02, 2021 9:06 pm

Evening all,

It’s the age old question and sorry to ask but I’m looking at M359 alloys in the below size will they fit please?

Front – 18×8.5 ET35
Rear – 18×9.5 ET33 / ET45

I currently have MV2s with new PS4s so would like to swap the tyres over

This is it MV2 tyre size
Front: 225-40-18 Rear: 255-35-18


Thanks in advance

Re switching your current tyres over the 225 40 18 onto a 8.5j not so bad but 255 35 18 on a 9.5j isn't going to give much in terms of wheel protection or ride comfort :cry:
Wheels themselves will fit , i would go with the et45 option on rear though the et33 will technically "fit"

Offset would be ok. Also tires are ok, but with some stretch.
I used 225/35-19 on 8,5" ET34 and 265/30 on 10" ET41 on my E86.

But I have 255/35/19 on 9,5" on my daily F30. It works fine. This is how it looks:
