255's all around

Dr3wM3 · 06-21-2019, 10:52 AM

Has anyone tried just using 255's in the front AND back on stock e92 zcp wheels? I know you would be losing performance with the narrower tires in the rear, but then you can use the same tire all around and do tire rotations to increase tire life...

I haven't seen any posts on this.

Thanks!

No just do 275 all around, arent wheels different width also so not really a square setup still even with same tire.

The stock wheels (19x9" ET31 - Front & 19x10" ET25 - Rear) can both accommodate 255's as the tires will take 8.5 to 10" width rims. 275 in the front would not work on stock zcp wheels.

So you know the offsets are different and cant rotate front to back anyways and still asking?

Ahhh, didn't realize you couldn't rotate if the offsets were different from the front to rear. Thanks

Yeah the rear on the front with wrong offset and width likely would cause rub. 18x10 et 25 is the common square set up.
