Question BMW Tire sizes??

I need opions on tire fitment for a buddy and thought you all could help.

Here's the deal:

98 BMW 740iL

My bro just bought M series wheels for his rig.

Size is 18 x 8 F 18 x 9.5 R

He bought (was advised by Americas Tire) the following size tires and is unhappy with the "look" so to speak-

235/50 F and 255/45 R

My question is, are these the correct size tires for these wheels, and, can he go with a different set up to achieve a more aggresive stance?? Less sidewall on the fronts (50 vs 45 or 40 series) and perhaps more vertical sidewall (265-275) on the rears??

Thanks in advance-

Doug

Default

those tires sizes are correct because of the off set, i have a set of 18 inch M5 rims thats 9.5 all around( no tires) I believe thats the look he's looking for I only want $ 600.00 for them cause thats what I paid for them thinking that they would fit my 3 series .......... let me know. rudeness3001@hotmail.com ( corey )
