[QUOTE="GreenGhost, post: 205736, member: 236"] Ok time for me to share. I was running on 225s for about a year on the 8.5s with the Dragons. It was okay, no real problems there considering i didnt have any tyre problems. No cracking on the insides either (assuming thats an issue with under-sized tyres). Then i jumped onto the F1s on 235 for close to a year now on the same rims. It was perfect fit. Perfect. So i would answer you (my opinion) that No, its not a bit stretched. My opinion la. In terms of squareness, if that is what you are looking for, forget about the PS2. The F1s are the most SQUARE you would find (my opinion). I was contemplating on the PS2 because of this issue. Unfortunately, the F1s only come 245 in the 19s range, so im dissapointed. And, my tyre guy recommends i stay on the 235s especially in the front. I guess he is right too, i dont have much gap left currently, quite tight fit. Offsets. Nope i have no idea. I tried to understand them. i really did but still dont understand them. So, i just go for the rim that is especially made for E46, so hopefully there shouldnt be any problems. KL2DC, Im just curious on the 255-275 being able to fit onto the 8.5s, are you sure? Have you fit them before? I would have thought thats a little too much rubber. If i were to use even the 255s, thats 2cm more width of rubber. That alone seems too much, yet 275. What did you fit onto your Rear? Thanks for the input though. [/QUOTE]
