[QUOTE="bmcaz, post: 488835, member: 20180"] Today i learned another thing. When i wanted to change my rims, i sought after information from everywhere. Now im having 245/35/18 front and 275/30/18 as my rear wheels. When 1st the rims and tyres were instaled i knew it looked weird coz there was too much gap between the tyres and the fender. I wanted to increase the tyre size (to 245/40/18 and 275/35/18) but the guy at the shop told me that it wouldnt fit. I was at a michelin dealer and got pilot ps3 fitted. Still unsatisfied with the looks of my car i decided to do a lil more home work. To get the lowered effect if i install Eibach sport sprimgs for rm 1200 means the ride will be a lil bumpy. It will be better if i pair eibach with msports absorbers as they have bigger hydraulics piston compared to standard bmw absorbers (tats wat d mech told me). Since its a daily use car i figured i shud just wait till d absorbers go bust. Alternatively, i can change to bigger tyres. What the michelin dealer DIDNT infom me is that the reason he so called to me the tyres wont fit is because michelin DOES NOT PRODUCE 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. But YOKOHAMA (sdrive) actualy has the size i want! Moral of the story, ask around several tyre dealers before mKing a decision :p [/QUOTE]
