Differnet 18" tyres sizes on my 318i 2004

[kenlow]

Dear friends ,

Can any expert out there advise what should i do ?

Currently using a set of 18" rims but tyres are noisy and are of different sizes;
1. Front 235/35/18
2. Rear 225/40/18
Is there something wrong with the tyres orientation and size? Not sure to change the front to be the same as its increasing the thirst of my 318i 2004 model by more than 10% as compared to the stock rims 16".
Thanks in advance

So what is the right configuration ? And what tyres u recommend that look sport and quiet? Thks

swap your front and rear immediately first... someone did a very bad job...

check your rears... 235/35 seems a little narrow for staggered...

also, you can check your driver side body... there is a label for tyre sizes that will fit the 318i E46 body per BMW...

Thanks ... just confirmed the tyres size . Front 235/40/18 and Back 225/45/18. Should I swop first and change to 225/45? Btw , what is the stock size? Anyone and appreciate yr help

Oh my god. Who is the kuku who swapped yr front/rear tyres. How can the front tyre be broader than rear.

Quick, get it swapped !

[kenlow]

I believe it should be 225/40/18 all round. I think there is a tyre size calculator in this folder.

Cheers.
