Default Will these fit?

Fronts are 225/45ZR18, Rears are 255/40ZR18.

Now the question is, will those size tires fit on my stock 2006 rims. Which are 18" x 8.0 Front, and 18" x 8.5 Rear.

Usually, I would keep the factory size, but a friend of mine has some tires laying around for a cheap price.

Thanks alot, btw the tires are Michelin Pilot Sport, Z rated performance tires from an M3

rears are not as tall as oem (245.45.18) but you might not have problems. I don't remember the % diff that is allowed.

I didn't go ape $hit on you for not searching b/c you have been here for over 3 years...but you can search to find out the answer.

Here.

Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing

Tire size calculator

I believe there is a sticky with regard to tire size and how much of a diff is allowed, maybe 3%?. I remember finding it in a search.. lol

Good luck,

EDIT: LOL! I just found it by going into the proper forum.....

you should be ok, i think 3% is the number...since i thought it was that before reality350 posted and he said the same thing i'm pretty sure now that it was 3%.

LOL. I prefer that the rear tires are 10mm taller than the front with VDC, but this set-up will be OK with TCS.
