How much rubber can I fit onto a set of staggered OEM M-Parallels?
I'm looking at these tires:
Front:
235/40WR18
Rear:
265/35WR18
Are these the right sizes or am I asking for trouble?
The wheels are from an E38
18x8 in front
18x9.5 in rear
Cheers,
Evan

I and many ran the 255/40/17, and I believe some are using the 265... so u should be good.Originally Posted by Evan

I am running 265/35 in the back, rubbed on the fender with people in the back seat or over bumps. Rolled the fender and was able to track the car with no problems.
Edit: Running OEM e38 Parallels

Is your ride lowered? I haven't lowered mine yet... I ordered the tires from Tire Rack for $550. shipped... I was expecting to pay $800 or more for decent tires. Now I need to spend the $250 I saved on something... I think it's chip time.

You're due for an EAT chip. Easiest and best mod for a 540.

"Best" mod? I would think a turbo would be a better mod...
