Stay stock is always my advise.Just like sword with sharp surfaces both side, depending on how u look at it. Running a front wider tyre than stock, you will end up with more grip upfront, recipe for oversteer or tail spin, so your DSC works harder and I believe your FC will suffer a bit.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Using a narrower 225 at the rear will not provide you with sufficient grip too despite some improvement in FC and pickup expected, and the 225 will wear out a lot faster then the original 255. If just for the sake of tyre rotation, then your 4x225 will wear out faster than the (2x225+2x255), so running cost wise might be the same. Those bigger tyres might cost more but they last longer.Wider tyres provide superb grip on the dry but higher chance of aquaplaning.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />F1 is running wider rear tyre for more pickup and rear mechanical grip.The new Star Spoke style 193 M, 18" rim is retailing at over RM2xxx/- at the SC per piece.<img src="http://www.kalach.easynet.be/icone/bmw_wheel_b193.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Just stay stock.. if you ask me.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> .. now can someone please correct me.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
