tire sizes for VMR 18" VB3's (CSL Reps)

hey guys,

im looking to purchase a set of 18" VMR VB3's (CSL reps) for my 06' M Coupe, and was curious if I could use the tires from my OEM 18"s.

I believe the Z4MC has OEM wheels of 18x8" in the front on PS2's 225/45's, and 18x9" in the rears on PS2's 255/40's.

Since the VB3's I'd be going to are 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears, I'm sure I could utilized the same tires (as it'd be a waste to not use these brand new tires), and I would possibly go with a 265 later down the line.

I just wanted to confirm and make sure that a 45-thickness for the fronts and the 40-thickness for the rears was okay. I mean, I'm only basically going 5" wider on the rims (aside from the change in offset), but just want to make sure the thickness is correct (in respect to gearing/radius ratios, etc.)

any insight helps, thanks.

Appreciate 0
