Looking for a nice all black wheel for my 08 is250 awd. Would like to go with a 18 inch wheel and 225/40 tires for everyday driving. Any help would be great. Thanks.
I've been thinking about these three rims for my IS 250 AWD: the F Sport forged 18's, TSW Nurburgring with the matte gunmetal finish, and the Wedssport SA55M. A good tire for everyday driving comfort, noise, braking, and handling are the Michelin MXM4s. I've seen only one other AWD that had those on the stock 17's.
I wanted the Miro 111's as well and then I looked into their reviews. Apparently a lot of bimmer drivers had issues with the rims cracking. Definitely look into this prior to purchase.
I was wondering if i could run 18x8.5 all the way around with no issues. 225/40/18 tire.
I want the miro 111's
I think you should be OK even with 235; as along as you are close to the 45mm offset. For the fronts, I am running 235x40x19 (8 inches width and 45 offset) and no rubbing. They were rubbing quite a bit at first with the 15mm spacers.
For the rear, you might want to run some spacers if you want to be more flushed.
