Tires for TA5R 18" Wheels?

MetalsMan · 03-22-2021, 04:48 PM

Hey Guys,
Just ordered the following from Bimmerworld
TA5R in Gunmetal
18 x 9.5 ET22 fronts
18 x 11 ET44 rears

Thinking of 275/35 fronts, 305/35 rears.

For those of you running 18" wheels, that sound about right for a nice aggressive look?

Thanks

I have same size wheels coming, different brand, so similar tire situation.

Available rear may dictate what available in same tire. Looks like 305/35/18 rear tires are limited to Tokyo R888R - Nitto NT01, 555R, 555RII - and MT ET Street S/S.

295/35/19 rear has more options, but may look a little stretched depending upon tire, but I am looking at either MPSS or YA052 for mine.

I decided on 295/35 & 265/35 Continentals

Why not 275 fronts?

Went with a recommendation from Bimmerworld. These are for the street and I already have some spacers on there, so 265 up front should look good. Will post a pic
