Good Morning fellow Mz3 owners!
Need advise, I have a set of 18x7 rims & I want to mount on my new Mz3 Sport. I plan on lowering my car with Tein S-techs. I was wondering if 215/45/18\'s would fit w/o rubbing?

Can anybody advise on which tire size I should go with, remember that the size of the rims are 18x7.

Thanks!

Run a 40 series, 215 should be fine since its only 7\". I can\'t say I have ever seen an 18\" with 7\" width...

I ain\'t married and I know how you love the old folks. You are probably speaking of my mom, I know you love the 60+ crowd.

Hi Tire23,
I was going to call you about this question, the rims are +45 offset.

Also, Pm\'d you about other parts. Please get back to ASAP.

Thanks,

Shouldn\'t be a problem 1mm difference in clearance to the strut housing and will only extend an extra 13mm to the outside fender.

First get a wider rim then go for a 35 series instead :p
